CVE-2016-4780

TITLE

Apple OS X of Thunderbolt Component vulnerable to arbitrary code execution in privileged context

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2016-007371

DESCRIPTION

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.12.1 is affected. The issue involves the "Thunderbolt" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted app. Apple macOS is prone to an arbitrary code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Versions prior to macOS 10.12.1 are vulnerable. Apple macOS Sierra is a dedicated operating system developed by Apple for Mac computers. Thunderbolt is one of the general-purpose IO interfaces
