Apple Xcode Integer Underflow Flaw Lets Crafted Archives Leak Memory and Crash Builds
Researchers disclosed an integer underflow in Apple's Mach-O archive parser that lets crafted static libraries crash Xcode builds or leak process memory.
SecureLayer7 disclosed an integer underflow in the mach_o::Archive::Entry::name() function in Apple's open-source dyld project, reported to Apple Product Security on May 23, 2026, with no public patch after more than 90 days. Crafted static archives (.a files) cause the parser's unsigned index to wrap to SIZE_MAX, producing SIGSEGV crashes in the ld-prime linker, out-of-bounds reads that may print adjacent memory to stderr, or SIGABRT in libtool and ranlib. The modern parser is used by ld-prime, the default linker for arm64, arm64e, and x86_64 since Xcode 15, while legacy ld-classic is unaffected. Crafted archives need only be processed, creating supply-chain risk via vendored SDKs, binary dependencies, and CI pipelines.

Homebrew 7.0.0 is out, here’s what changed for security
Homebrew 7.0.0 closes eight security advisories, including a High sudo execution bug fixed in 6.0.12, and ships brew vulns vulnerability scanning.
Homebrew 7.0.0 closes eight security advisories rated one High, two Moderate, and five Low. The High flaw let unsigned cask removal metadata execute commands with sudo (fixed in 6.0.12), while the 7.0.0 Moderate closes a LaunchServices escape that let a malicious cask execute code outside the macOS install sandbox. The release ships brew vulns, which checks installed formulae against OSV.dev, extends build attestation verification to third-party tap bottles, and replaces Bubblewrap with Landlock sandboxing on Linux.

Stately Taurus Activity in Southeast Asia Links to Bookworm Malware
Unit 42 links Stately Taurus APT activity in ASEAN region and Myanmar to the decade-old Bookworm malware family via infrastructure overlaps.
Unit 42 connected Stately Taurus (aka Mustang Panda) espionage activity targeting ASEAN-affiliated organizations and Myanmar to the Bookworm malware family, first published in 2015. Earlier attacks delivered the PubLoad stager via DLL sideloading, with a PubLoad variant communicating with C2 at 123.253.32[.]15 while mimicking Windows Update URLs. Three previously unreported loader samples from 2021-2022 used UUID-decoded shellcode loaded via heap allocation and API callbacks, ultimately decrypting and loading Bookworm DLLs. A ToneShell backdoor variant shared debug paths with Bookworm loaders, and the January 2024 CSIRT CTI post corroborated the Myanmar attacks.
