CVE-2014-4492: Apple iPhone OS

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 19.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

libnetcore in Apple iOS before 8.1.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3 does not verify that certain values have the expected data type, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in an _networkd context via a crafted XPC message from a sandboxed app, as demonstrated by lack of verification of the XPC dictionary data type.

Affected products

• Apple iPhone OS: up to and including 8.1.2
• Apple Mac OS X: up to and including 10.10.1
• Apple tvOS: up to and including 7.0.1
