Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.12.5

Description The issue is related to the WindowServer component and involves an out-of-bounds access in memory, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) using a specially crafted app.
