Apple October 2026 updates patch 304 flaws, including prior exploit
Already exploited CoreGraphics flaw CVE-2026-86950 now gets iOS 18 fixes; no newly exploited bug is flagged.
Integer overflow in Apple 3D model processing
An integer overflow in Apple’s handling of 3D models can corrupt memory when a crafted model is processed. A remote attacker needs the user to open or otherwise process that file; no other authentication detail is given. Successful processing may corrupt memory on affected iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision devices. Apple lists fixes in the OS releases below and has not listed affected builds.
What to do: Update to iOS/iPadOS 26.7.2 or 27.2, macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, or visionOS 27.2. No workaround is stated.
