Apple OS X IOGraphicsFamily Untrusted Pointer Dereference Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to elevate privileges on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the IOGraphicsFamily interface. The issue lies with the failure to validate user-supplied function addresses prior to using them. An attacker can leverage this to escalate their privileges and execute code under the context of the kernel.
