CVE-2018-4171

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.13.5

Description The issue involves the Bluetooth component and allows attackers to obtain sensitive kernel memory-layout information via a crafted app that leverages device properties. It is related to an incorrect implementation of security mechanisms in the Bluetooth component, which can be exploited to disclose protected information about the kernel memory layout.

Recommendations For macOS versions prior to 10.13.5, update to version 10.13.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Bluetooth component until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive device properties to minimize the risk of exploitation.
