Description
The extension APIs in the kernel in Apple iOS before 8.1.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3 do not prevent the presence of addresses within an OSBundleMachOHeaders key in a response, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted app.
Affected configurations
• apple iphone os (<= 8.1.2)
• apple mac os x (<= 10.10.1)
• apple tvos (<= 7.0.1)
