VULHUB ™

MacOS X uses Mach exception ports to support the CrashReporter "Application Quit Unexpectedly" dialog, Problem Report dialog, process debugging, and crash dumps logs. On vulnerable operating systems, attackers can exploit the inheritance of Mach exception ports to inject code into SUID processes, allowing nonprivileged users to assume root privileges.
