Unentitled Root to Read Kernel Frame Pointers
This vulnerability allows unentitled root to read kernel frame pointers, which might be useful in combination with a kernel memory corruption bug. By design, the syscall stack_snapshot_with_config() permits unentitled root to dump information about all user stacks and kernel stacks. While a target thread, along with the rest of the system, is frozen, machine_trace_thread64() dumps its kernel stack. machine_trace_thread64() walks up the kernel stack using the chain of saved RBPs. It dumps the unslid kernel text pointers together with unobfuscated frame pointers.
