The kernel in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, tvOS before 9.2.1, and watchOS before 2.2.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1827, CVE-2016-1828, and CVE-2016-1829.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1830 is an Apple kernel memory corruption issue fixed in May 2016. A maliciously crafted app could run code with privileged rights or crash the device. Business risk is mainly from unmanaged or legacy Apple devices still running versions earlier than the fixed releases. Exposure is most likely on obsolete, unmanaged, jailbroken, lab, kiosk, or embedded Apple devices that missed the 2016 updates. Current fully updated Apple fleets should not be exposed based on the provided fixed-version information. Prioritize remediation if any affected Apple versions remain in production. This is not evidenced as actively exploited in the provided sources, but kernel-level code execution makes remaining exposure unacceptable for managed business devices. Mitigation focus: Update affected devices to iOS 9.3.2, OS X 10.11.5, tvOS 9.2.1, watchOS 2.2.1, or later.; Remove or replace devices that cannot run a fixed Apple release.; Restrict app installation to trusted sources on legacy Apple devices..
