Synopsis

The remote host is missing a Mac OS X update that fixes multiple security vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.9.5 or 10.10.5 that is missing Security Update 2015-004 or 2015-007. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

- Accelerate Framework - apache_mod_php - ATS - Audio - CFNetwork - CoreGraphics - CoreText - EFI - FontParser - Grand Central Dispatch - ImageIO - IOAcceleratorFamily - Kernel - libarchive - MCX Application Restrictions - OpenGL

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Install Security Update 2015-004 / 2015-007 or later.

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Mac OS X Multiple Vulnerabilities (Security Updates 2015-004 / 2015-007) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select MacOS X Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select Mac OS X Multiple Vulnerabilities (Security Updates 2015-004 / 2015-007) plugin ID 86829.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl macosx_SecUpd2015-007.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a macosx_SecUpd2015-007.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - macosx_SecUpd2015-007.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state macosx_SecUpd2015-007.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
