Se ha solucionado un problema de corrupción de memoria con una validación de entrada mejorada. Este problema se ha solucionado en macOS Big Sur 11.6, watchOS 8, tvOS 15, iOS 14.8 y iPadOS 14.8, iOS 15 y iPadOS 15. El procesamiento de una imagen maliciosa puede conducir a la ejecución de código arbitrario

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Apple macOS. Interaction with the CoreGraphics library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PDF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in 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.
