Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2017-2483. PoCs published by Google Security Research.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages an off-by-one error in the MacOS kernel's audit_pipe_open function to achieve kernel memory corruption, leading to a root-to-kernel privilege escalation. By manipulating the minor device number and triggering audit message enqueue failures, the PoC corrupts kernel memory structures.
Description
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. tvOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. A buffer overflow allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.
