Se abordó un problema de corrupción de memoria con una comprobación mejorada. Este problema es corregido en macOS Big Sur versión 11.6.5, macOS Monterey versión 12.3 y Security Update 2022-003 Catalina. El procesamiento de un archivo diseñado de forma maliciosa puede conllevar a una ejecución de código arbitrario

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 AppleScript framework. Crafted data in a SCPT file 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.
