Multiple memory leaks in XNU 1228.3.13 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier allow local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory consumption) via a crafted (1) SYS_add_profil or (2) SYS___mac_getfsstat system call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local denial-of-service issue in older Apple Mac OS X systems. A person who can run code on the machine could trigger kernel memory consumption and potentially destabilize or crash the system. The sources do not show remote attack capability or active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Mac OS X 10.5.6 or earlier systems where untrusted local users or processes can execute code. Modern or retired systems are unlikely to be affected based on the supplied version scope. Prioritize remediation only where legacy affected Macs still exist. The business risk is availability disruption from local misuse, not a confirmed remote breach path. Unsupported operating systems should be retired or isolated. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Mac OS X 10.5.6 or earlier systems.; Check Apple or vendor guidance for any applicable historical fixes.; Restrict local shell or interactive access on affected systems..
