CVE-2016-1806

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11.5

Description The issue is related to the Crash Reporter component in Apple OS X, which has inadequate access control. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially created application.

Recommendations For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11.5, update to version 10.11.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Crash Reporter component until a patch is available.
