Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.12.6

Description The issue involves the Bluetooth component and allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app. This is caused by a buffer overflow in the Bluetooth component of the Mac OS X operating system.
