Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Kernel component of Apple iOS before 10.2.1, macOS before 10.12.3, tvOS before 10.1.1, and watchOS before 3.1.3. The flaw allows a crafted application to trigger a buffer overflow, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges or a denial of service condition.

This repository contains a local privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2017-2370, targeting Apple iOS 10 and macOS 10.12. The exploit leverages a heap overflow in the mach_voucher_extract_attr_recipe_trap kernel trap, using Mach message manipulation and heap feng shui techniques to gain arbitrary kernel memory read/write (tfp0) and escalate privileges to root. The main exploit logic is implemented in exp.m, which orchestrates the attack, manipulates kernel objects, leaks kernel addresses, and finally spawns a root shell (/bin/bash). The Makefile is used to build the exploit, and README.md provides a detailed technical explanation of the vulnerability and exploitation process. The attack vector is local, requiring code execution on the target device. The exploit is operational and provides a working local root shell if successful.
