Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write through kauth_cred_proc_update. An attacker can corrupt the thread's kauth_cred_t credential pointer and cause unexpected system termination or write kernel memory. Specifically, the SMR-protected p_ucred field of a process's read-only struct can be corrupted to point to invalid memory, or potentially to a different and more privileged credential.
