An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5940 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Iphone Os. 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-2015-5940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5940/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5940","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p4jq-wxrf-c5vq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apple iOS OS X","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted website due to missing validation in the Accelerate Framework.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The Accelerate Framework component in Apple iOS before 9.1 and OS X before 10.11.1, when multi-threading is enabled, omits certain validation and locking steps, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:iphone_os","products":["apple:iphone_os","apple:mac_os_x"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2015-5941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5939"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-10-23","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-30666","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-30761","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30762","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Webkit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-4657","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7286","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7287","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8605","kev_date_added":"2022-06-27","published":"2019-12-18"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted website due to missing validation in the Accelerate Framework.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5940/"}
