Description
The mach_port_kobject interface in the kernel in Apple iOS before 8.1.3 and Apple TV before 7.0.3 does not properly restrict kernel-address and heap-permutation information, 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 tvos (<= 7.0.1)
