Last modified

CVE-2011-1516 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The kSBXProfileNoNetwork and kSBXProfileNoInternet sandbox profiles in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.x through 10.7.x do not propagate restrictions to all created processes, which allows remote attackers to access network resources via a crafted application, as demonstrated by use of osascript to send Apple events to the launchd daemon, a related issue to CVE-2008-7303.. EPSS estimates a 3.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
