DESCRIPTION:
Apple has acknowledge a security issue and multiple vulnerabilities
in Apple TV, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information, cause a Dos (Denial of Service), and
potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Apple TV bundles vulnerable versions of FreeType and libTIFF
libraries.

For more information:
SA41738
SA43582
SA43593

2) The IPv6 implementation includes the device's MAC address as the
interface identifier for outgoing connections when using stateless
address autoconfiguration (SLAAC). This can be exploited to track the
device across different connections.

3) A boundary error when processing wireless network frames can be
exploited to restart the device.

SOLUTION:
Update to Apple TV version 4.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
2) Reported by the vendor.
