CVE-2017-6436

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libplist version 1.12

Description The issue is related to a memory allocation error that can cause a denial of service. It is triggered by a crafted plist file, which affects the parse string node function in the bplist.c file of the libimobiledevice libplist.

Recommendations For libplist version 1.12, consider avoiding the use of crafted plist files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of untrusted plist files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
