Se solucionó un problema de uso después de la liberación con una gestión de memoria mejorada. Este problema se solucionó en tvOS 15.5, watchOS 8.6, iOS 15.5 y iPadOS 15.5, macOS Monterey 12.4, Safari 15.5, iTunes 12.12.4 para Windows. El procesamiento de contenido web creado con fines malintencionados puede provocar la ejecución de código arbitrario.

A flaw was found in webkitgtk. Due to improper input validation, the issue occurs, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker with network access to pass specially crafted web content files, causing an application to halt, crash, or 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.
