Se abordó un problema de escritura fuera de límites con una comprobación de límites mejorada. Este problema es corregido en iOS versión 13.6 y iPadOS versión 13.6, macOS Catalina versión 10.15.6, tvOS versión 13.4.8, watchOS versión 6.2.8, iTunes versión 12.10.8 para Windows, iCloud para Windows versión 11.3, iCloud para Windows versión 7.20. Al abrir un archivo PDF diseñado maliciosamente puede conllevar a un cierre inesperado de la aplicación o una ejecución de código arbitraria
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Apple macOS. Interaction with the ImageIO library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
The specific flaw exists within the ImageIO framework. Crafted data in a TIF image can trigger a write past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 addresses buffer overflow, bypass, code execution, denial of service, information leakage, integer overflow, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, path sanitization, spoofing, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
