CVE-2015-7046: Apple iPhone OS

The Sandbox feature in xnu in Apple iOS before 9.2, OS X before 10.11.2, tvOS before 9.1, and watchOS before 2.1 does not properly implement privilege separation, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted app with root privileges.

  • Apple Mac OS X: up to and including 10.11.1
  • Apple tvOS: up to and including 9.0
