Monthly Archives: October 2015
CVE-2015-5889 (mac_os_x)
rsh in the remote_cmds component in Apple OS X before 10.11 allows local users to obtain root privileges via vectors involving environment variables.
CVE-2015-5890 (mac_os_x)
IOGraphics in Apple OS X before 10.11 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-5871, CVE-2015-5872, and CVE-2015-5873.
CVE-2015-5891 (mac_os_x)
The SMB implementation in the kernel in Apple OS X before 10.11 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2015-5893 (mac_os_x)
SMBClient in SMB in Apple OS X before 10.11 allows local users to obtain sensitive kernel memory-layout information via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2015-5894 (mac_os_x)
The X.509 certificate-trust implementation in Apple OS X before 10.11 does not recognize that the kSecRevocationRequirePositiveResponse flag implies a revocation-checking requirement, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof endpoints by leveraging access to a revoked certificate.
CVE-2015-5897 (mac_os_x)
The Address Book framework in Apple OS X before 10.11 allows local users to gain privileges by using an environment variable to inject code into processes that rely on this framework.
CVE-2015-5900 (mac_os_x)
The protected range register in the EFI component in Apple OS X before 10.11 has an incorrect value, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (boot failure) via a crafted app that writes to an unintended address.
CVE-2015-5901 (mac_os_x)
The Secure Empty Trash feature in Finder in Apple OS X before 10.11 improperly deletes Trash files, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading storage media, as demonstrated by reading a flash drive.
CVE-2015-5902 (mac_os_x)
The debugging feature in the kernel in Apple OS X before 10.11 mismanages state, which allows local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
