El procesamiento de una imagen maliciosamente diseñada puede conllevar a una ejecución de código arbitrario. Este problema se corrigió en Security Update 2021-002 Catalina, iOS versión 14.5 e iPadOS versión 14.5, watchOS versión 7.4, tvOS versión 14.5, macOS Big Sur versión 11.3. Se abordó un problema de escritura fuera de límites con una comprobación de límites mejorada

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Apple macOS. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the DecodeRow function. Crafted data in a KTX image can trigger a read past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
