CVE-2016-4667

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.12.1

Description The issue involves the ATS component and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, resulting in memory corruption and application crash, via a crafted font. This is caused by a buffer overflow in memory.

Recommendations For macOS versions prior to 10.12.1, update to version 10.12.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the ATS component until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted fonts in affected systems to minimize the risk of exploitation.
