To be more specific, the application may be able to execute code with system privileges. This issue does not affect macOS users running the latest version of the system software. An out-of-bounds read issue was discovered with the Address Space Layout Randomization feature. A malicious application may be able to exploit this vulnerability to perform denial-of-service attacks. An out-of-bounds write issue was discovered with the feature called rdmsr due to the way memory is handled on some processors. This could allow a malicious application to cause a denial of service or potentially allow code execution with system privileges. An out-of-bounds write issue was discovered in the handling of memory containing the XCPMM request. This may allow a malicious application to cause a denial-of-service or potentially allow code execution with system privileges. And lastly, an out-of-bounds write issue was discovered in the handling of memory containing the XCPMM request. This may allow a malicious application to cause a denial-of-service or potentially allow code execution with system privileges. An out-of-bounds read issue was discovered in the handling of memory containing the XCPMM request. This may allow a malicious application to cause a denial-of-service or potentially allow code execution with system privileges.

Why use Address Space Layout Randomization?
The Address Space Layout Randomization feature allows an operating system to create a different memory layout for every process. This is important as it makes exploitation more difficult by making it harder for malicious processes to find code they would like to execute.
