CVE-2016-1823
HIGHApple tvOS < 9.2.1 - Out-of-bounds Read via IOHIDDevice::handleReportWithTime
Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2016-1823. PoCs published by Google Security Research.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates an out-of-bounds (OOB) read vulnerability in IOHIDFamily on macOS due to insufficient bounds checking when casting an integer to an IOHIDReportType enum. The PoC triggers the vulnerability by passing a large scalar value (0xe0000000) to IOConnectCallMethod, leading to an OOB read and potential kernel panic.
Description
The IOHIDDevice::handleReportWithTime function in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, tvOS before 9.2.1, and watchOS before 2.2.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and memory corruption) via a crafted IOHIDReportType enum, which triggers an incorrect cast, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1824.
