CVE-2017-2422

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

Description The issue involves the Multi-Touch 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 memory, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to achieve the aforementioned effects.

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 the use of the Multi-Touch component until a patch is available.
