CVE-2017-2360: An issue was discovered in certain Apple products.

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2.1 is affected. macOS before 10.12.3 is affected. tvOS before 10.1.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted app.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2017-2360 is an Apple kernel memory-safety flaw. A malicious app could potentially gain privileged execution or crash the device. It affects older iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS versions before Apple’s January 2017 security releases.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation for any legacy Apple devices that can install apps or access sensitive data. The business risk is privilege escalation on unmanaged or outdated endpoints, not a broad unauthenticated network attack.

Technical view

The issue is a kernel use-after-free reachable via a crafted app. Affected platforms are iOS before 10.2.1, macOS before 10.12.3, tvOS before 10.1.1, and watchOS before 3.1.3. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE, or detailed root-cause data.

Likely exposure

Exposure is mainly legacy Apple endpoints, phones, Apple TVs, and watches still running versions older than the fixed releases. Modern managed fleets should be low exposure if update compliance is enforced.

Exploitation context

The CVE references an Exploit-DB entry, indicating public exploit material exists. The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or any cited evidence of active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Evidence supports a local crafted-app kernel use-after-free with privileged code execution or denial-of-service impact. Details are sparse in the bundle, and no CVSS or CWE is provided. Avoid inferring affected models beyond the listed OS families.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade iOS devices to 10.2.1 or later.
  • Upgrade macOS systems to 10.12.3 or later.
  • Upgrade tvOS devices to 10.1.1 or later.
  • Upgrade watchOS devices to 3.1.3 or later.
  • Check Apple advisories for any platform-specific deployment notes.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Apple devices and record exact OS versions.
  • Flag any device below the fixed versions listed by Apple.
  • Confirm update status through MDM or endpoint management telemetry.
  • Review controls limiting installation of untrusted apps on legacy devices.
