CVE-2017-2398
HighSummary
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products, including iOS before 10.3 and macOS before 10.12.4, related to the 'Kernel' component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to the execution of malicious code by attackers, potentially leading to serious security breaches and data loss. Additionally, the possibility of denial of service may impact system availability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update iOS to version 10.3 or later and macOS to version 10.12.4 or later to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.
