TITLE

plural Apple Product Crash Reporter Vulnerability in arbitrary code execution in components

DESCRIPTION

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.3.1 is affected. macOS before 10.13.4 Security Update 2018-001 is affected. tvOS before 11.4 is affected. watchOS before 4.3.1 is affected. The issue involves the "Crash Reporter" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app that replaces a privileged port name. Apple iOS is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code and conduct spoofing attacks. Failed exploits will result in denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to Apple iOS 11.3.1 are vulnerable. This BID is being retired as a duplicate of BID 103957 Apple iOS and macOS Multiple Security Vulnerabilities.

The issue appears to be from an undocumented side effect of the instructions. An attacker might utilize this exception handling to gain access to Ring 0 and access sensitive memory or control operating system processes. Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/ iTunes and Software Update on the device will automatically check Apple's update server on its weekly schedule. When an update is detected, it is downloaded and the option to be installed is presented to the user when the iOS device is docked. We recommend applying the update immediately if possible. Selecting Don't Install will present the option the next time you connect your iOS device. The automatic update process may take up to a week depending on the day that iTunes or the device checks for updates. You may manually obtain the update via the Check for Updates button within iTunes, or the Software Update on your device. To check that the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad has been updated: * Navigate to Settings * Select General * Select About. The version after applying this update will be "iOS 11.3.1"
