Se abordó una lectura fuera de límites con una comprobación de límites mejorada. Este problema es corregido en macOS Big Sur versión 11.6.2, tvOS versión 15.2, macOS Monterey versión 12.1, Security Update 2021-008 Catalina, iOS versión 15.2 e iPadOS versión 15.2, watchOS versión 8.3. El procesamiento de una imagen creada con fines maliciosos puede conllevar a una ejecución de código arbitrario

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information 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 DDS 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.
