An unspecified IOHIDFamily function in Apple iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7 lacks proper bounds checking to prevent reading of kernel pointers, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
