TITLE

plural Apple Privileged vulnerability in product kernel component

DESCRIPTION

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors. Apple macOS, watchOS, iOS, and tvOS are prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, obtain sensitive information and bypass security restrictions. Failed exploit attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to iOS 10.2, watchOS 3.1.1, macOS 10.12.2, and tvOS 10.1 are vulnerable. Apple iOS is an operating system developed for mobile devices; watchOS is an operating system for smart watches. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 APPLE-SA-2017-01-23-3 watchOS 3.1.3 watchOS 3.1.3 is now available and addresses the following: Accounts Available for: All Apple Watch models Impact: Uninstalling an app did not reset the authorization settings Description: An issue existed which did not reset the authorization settings on app uninstall.
