With each update to iOS and macOS, Apple provides numerous security enhancements to address weaknesses. Two security flaws identified by Trellix Advanced Research Center have been addressed in the iOS 16.3 and macOS Ventura 13.2 releases.
These vulnerabilities relate to a new class of privilege escalation bugs in iOS and macOS that can be exploited to access user messages, location data, photos, call logs, and more.
Trellix discovered the first security flaw in the Coreduetd process, which could give attackers access to a person's calendar, address book, and photos. The second flaw relates to OSLogService and NSPredicate, which can be exploited to achieve code execution within Springboard.
The data relating to these security vulnerabilities was reported to Apple, and the company immediately addressed the vulnerabilities in the aforementioned updates, which were reflected in the security support documents for both. Trellix credits Apple for its swift resolution of the issues and identifies two of the weaknesses (CVE-2023-23530 and CVE-2023-23531) that Apple addressed by enhancing memory handling.
