TITLE

plural Apple Product ImageIO Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

ImageIO in Apple iOS before 9.1, OS X before 10.11.1, and watchOS before 2.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted metadata in an image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-5935, CVE-2015-5937, and CVE-2015-5939. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Failed exploit attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to iOS 9.1, watchOS 2.0.1 and OS X 10.11.1 are vulnerable. in the United States.
