In the function AppleAVDUserClient::decodeFrameFig, a location in the decoder's IOSurface input buffer is calculated, and then bzero is called on it. The size of this IOSurface's allocation is controllable by the userspace caller, so the calculated pointer can go out of bounds, leading to memory corruption. This issue could potentially allow an unprivileged local application to escalate its privileges to the kernel.

In AppleAVD.kext, pixel buffers are mapped by calling AppleAVDUserClient::_mapPixelBuffer, which eventually calls AppleAVD::allocateKernelMemoryInternal. If the buffer is an IOSurface, the function calls IOSurface::deviceLockSurface before allocating memory by calling prepare. But when a pixel buffer is unmapped by calling AppleAVDUserClient::_unmapPixelBuffer, which calls AppleAVD::deallocateKernelMemoryInternal, the IOSurface is not locked before calling complete. This means that mapping and unmapping can occur at the same time, leading to kernel memory corruption. This bug could allow escalation to kernel privileges from a local app.

mDNSResponder.exe is vulnerable to DLL Sideloading attack. Executable improperly specifies how to load the DLL, from which folder and under what conditions. In these scenarios, a malicious attacker could be using the valid and legitimate executable to load malicious files.

A buffer overflow in Synthesia before 10.7.5567, when a non-Latin locale is used, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted MIDI file with malformed bytes. This file is mishandled during a deletion attempt. In Synthesia before 10.9, an improper path handling allows local attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted MIDI file with malformed bytes.

Stop chatty apps from oversharing and eliminate a hacker backdoor — train developers on "security first" while subjecting APIs to least-privilege zero-trust policies.
