Out-of-bounds write in Apple OSes via a local app
An out-of-bounds write in iOS, iPadOS, macOS Golden Gate, and visionOS lets an app cause unexpected system termination or write kernel memory. A local app triggers it; no further authentication or network access is described. Apple addressed it with improved bounds checking in the 27.2 releases of those systems.
What to do: Update to iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, and visionOS 27.2.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Apple iOS | — | 27.2 |
| Apple iPadOS | — | 27.2 |
| Apple macOS Golden Gate | — | 27.2 |
| Apple visionOS | — | 27.2 |
