The kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not properly check for errors during the processing of multicast Wi-Fi packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging presence in an 802.11 network's coverage area.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Apple Mac OS X versions before 10.9. A nearby attacker within Wi-Fi range could trigger a kernel crash using multicast Wi-Fi packet handling. The documented impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution. Exposure is most relevant to legacy Macs running Mac OS X before 10.9 with Wi-Fi enabled and operating near untrusted users or networks. Treat this as a legacy endpoint resilience issue. Prioritize remediation where pre-10.9 Macs still exist in operational environments, especially on shared Wi-Fi. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Macs to OS X 10.9 or later where feasible.; Check Apple advisory APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 for vendor-specific update guidance.; Retire or isolate unsupported pre-10.9 Mac systems..
