EDB-ID: 43327 | Author: Google Security Research | Published: 2017-12-12 | CVE: CVE-2017-13875 | Type: Dos | Platform: macOS | Aliases: N/A | Advisory/Source: Link | Tags: N/A | Vulnerable App: N/A | Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1375
AppleIntelCapriController::GetLinkConfig trusts a user-supplied value in the structure input which it uses to index
a small table of pointers without bounds checking. The OOB-read pointer is passed to AppleIntelFramebuffer::validateDisplayMode
which will read a pointer to a C++ object from that buffer (at offset 2138h) and call a virtual method allowing trivial kernel code execution.
Tested on MacOS 10.13 (17A365) on MacBookAir5,2
