It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-1140 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Mac Os X. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1140/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1140/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1140","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1140/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1140","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r7f5-99vh-8fhq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS kernel extension","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a buffer overflow in the IOHIDFamily component to escalate privileges on macOS systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Buffer overflow in IOHIDFamily in Apple OS X before 10.10.3 allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2015-03-16","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":72,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2015-03-16T03:43:50Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kpwn/vpwn","stars":72,"title":"xnu local privilege escalation via cve-2015-1140 IOHIDSecurePromptClient injectStringGated heap overflow | poc||gtfo"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1140","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:mac_os_x","products":["apple:mac_os_x"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1141"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1139"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-04-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU Bourne-Again Shell (Bash) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-7169","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU Bourne-Again Shell (Bash) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-6271","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-09-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHP-CGI Query String Parameter","id":"CVE-2012-1823","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2012-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple macOS Unspecified","id":"CVE-2021-30713","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple macOS Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8526","kev_date_added":"2023-04-17","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple OS X Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2015-1130","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2015-04-10"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Apple macOS Out-of-Bounds Read","id":"CVE-2022-22674","kev_date_added":"2022-04-04","published":"2022-05-26"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit a buffer overflow in the IOHIDFamily component to escalate privileges on macOS systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1140/"}
