Descriptions

The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.7.3, macOS Sequoia 15.3, macOS Sonoma 14.7.3. Parsing a maliciously crafted file may lead to an unexpected app termination.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information 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 parsing of ICC profiles. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

macOS Sequoia 15.3 addresses buffer overflow, bypass, code execution, information leakage, integer overflow, null pointer, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, spoofing, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
