Se abordó un problema de corrupción de memoria con una comprobación de entradas mejorada. Este problema es corregido en iTunes versión 12.12.4 para Windows, iOS versión 15.5 y iPadOS versión 15.5, Security Update 2022-004 Catalina, macOS Big Sur versión 11.6.6, macOS Monterey versión 12.4. El procesamiento de una imagen maliciosamente diseñada puede conllevar a una ejecución de código arbitrario

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 processing of HEIC files in the VTDecoderXPCService process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.
