Descriptions

An out-of-bounds access issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6, watchOS 10.6, tvOS 17.6, visionOS 1.3, macOS Sonoma 14.6. Processing a maliciously crafted file may lead to unexpected app termination.

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 a PSD file can trigger an overflow of a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

macOS Sonoma 14.6 addresses buffer overflow, bypass, code execution, information leakage, integer overflow, out of bounds access, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, spoofing, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
