Se abordó un problema de uso de memoria previamente liberada con una administración de memoria mejorada. Este problema ha sido corregido en macOS Monterey versión 12.3, Safari versión 15.4, watchOS versión 8.5, iOS versión 15.4 y iPadOS versión 15.4, tvOS versión 15.4. El procesamiento de contenido web diseñado de forma maliciosa puede conllevar a una ejecución de código arbitrario.

A use-after-free issue was found in WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit. This flaw allows a remote attacker to process maliciously crafted web content, leading to arbitrary code execution.

Juraj Somorovsky, Marcel Maehren, Nurullah Erinola, and Robert Merget discovered that the DTLS implementation in the JSSE subsystem of OpenJDK did not properly restrict handshake initiation requests from clients. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Markus Loewe discovered that the Java Sound subsystem in OpenJDK did not properly validate the origin of a Soundbank. An attacker could use this to specially craft an untrusted Java application or applet that could load a Soundbank from an attacker controlled remote URL.
