CVE-2017-2437

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.12.4

Description The issue involves the IOFireWireAVC component and allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors. It is caused by a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited by a local attacker to elevate privileges or cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For macOS versions prior to 10.12.4, update to version 10.12.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IOFireWireAVC component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
