Descriptions

Multiple memory corruption issues were addressed with improved memory handling. This issue affected versions prior to iOS 12.1, tvOS 12.1, watchOS 5.1, Safari 12.0.1, iTunes 12.9.1, iCloud for Windows 7.8.

Se abordaron múltiples problemas de corrupción de memoria con una gestión de memoria mejorada. El problema afectaba a iOS en versiones anteriores a la 12.1; tvOS en versiones anteriores a la 12.1; watchOS en versiones anteriores a la 5.1; Safari en versiones anteriores a la 12.0.1; iTunes en versiones anteriores a la 12.9.1 y iCloud para Windows en versiones anteriores a la 7.8.

When a for-in loop is executed, a JSPropertyNameEnumerator object is created at the beginning and used to store the information of the input object to the for-in loop. Inside the loop, the structure ID of the "this" object of every get_by_id expression taking the loop variable as the index is compared to the cached structure ID from the JSPropertyNameEnumerator object. If it's the same, the "this" object of the get_by_id expression will be considered having the same structure as the input object to the for-in loop has. The problem is, it doesn't have anything to prevent the structure from which the cached structure ID from being freed. As structure IDs can be reused after their owners get freed, this can lead to type confusion.
