TITLE

Apple macOS Hypervisor component vulnerable to arbitrary code execution in privileged context

DESCRIPTION

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.5 is affected. The issue involves the "Hypervisor" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app. Apple macOS High Sierra is a dedicated operating system developed by Apple for Mac computers. Hypervisor (also known as virtual machine monitor, VMM) is an intermediate software layer running between the physical server and the operating system, which allows multiple operating systems and applications to share a set of underlying physical hardware.
