Memory corruption via crafted video in Apple OS before 27.2
A memory-handling flaw in Apple’s video processing can terminate an app or corrupt process memory when a maliciously crafted video file is processed. Triggering it requires that file to be processed; the advisory does not say whether the attacker must be local or already authenticated. It is fixed in iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, tvOS 27.2, visionOS 27.2, and watchOS 27.2. Apple has not listed affected builds.
