CVE-2016-7621
HighSummary
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products affecting iOS before 10.2, macOS before 10.12.2, and watchOS before 3.1.3. The issue involves the 'Kernel' component and allows local users to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via unspecified vectors.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be at risk of unauthorized code execution by local users, potentially leading to serious security breaches. Additionally, the ability to trigger a denial of service may impact system availability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update systems to the latest versions to mitigate this vulnerability. Monitoring access to systems and implementing additional security measures to protect against local attacks is also advised.
