AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Integer overflow in launchd in Apple iOS, OS X, and Apple TV allows arbitrary code execution via a crafted application.
Vulnerability
Integer overflow in launchd, the system service for managing daemons and processes, affects Apple iOS before 7.1.2, OS X before 10.9.4, and Apple TV before 6.1.2. A crafted application can trigger the overflow, leading to memory corruption.
Exploitation
An attacker requires the ability to run a crafted application on the target device. No additional authentication or network access is needed beyond local execution. The application triggers the integer overflow in launchd during processing of certain inputs.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with system privileges, as launchd runs with root authority. This can lead to full compromise of the device.
Mitigation
Apple released updates: iOS 7.1.2, OS X Mavericks 10.9.4, and Apple TV 6.1.2, which include a fix for this issue [1]. Users should update via Software Update or from Apple's website. No workarounds are documented.
