The extension APIs in the kernel in Apple iOS before 8.1.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3 do not prevent the presence of addresses within an OSBundleMachOHeaders key in a response, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted app.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw weakened Apple ASLR protection on older iOS, OS X, and Apple TV systems. A malicious crafted app could make memory-location defenses easier to bypass, helping another vulnerability succeed. The provided sources do not show standalone compromise or active exploitation. Exposure is limited to legacy Apple systems below the fixed versions. Modern managed fleets are likely unaffected unless they still contain unsupported iOS, OS X Yosemite-era, or Apple TV devices. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected devices remain in sensitive environments. Prioritize upgrading or retiring unsupported Apple devices because this flaw can strengthen broader exploit chains. Mitigation focus: Upgrade iOS devices to 8.1.3 or later where supported.; Upgrade OS X systems to 10.10.2 or later where supported.; Upgrade Apple TV devices to 7.0.3 or later where supported..
