Descriptions

A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in watchOS 9.5, tvOS 16.5, macOS Ventura 13.4, iOS 15.7.6 and iPadOS 15.7.6, macOS Big Sur 11.7.7, macOS Monterey 12.6.6, iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5. Processing an image may lead to arbitrary code execution.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 an EXR image can trigger a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
