It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-6979 exists.\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-2017-6979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6979/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hf42-g932-xphw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apple iOS/macOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in IOSurface allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app on Apple devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"tvos","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"watchos","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.5 is affected. tvOS before 10.2.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.2.2 is affected.
