Descriptions

An out-of-bounds access issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in visionOS 2.6, tvOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, iOS 18.6 and iPadOS 18.6. Processing a maliciously crafted media file may lead to unexpected app termination or corrupt process memory.

Se solucionó un problema de acceso fuera de los límites mejorando la comprobación de los límites. Este problema se solucionó en visionOS 2.6, tvOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, iOS 18.6 y iPadOS 18.6. Procesar un archivo multimedia manipulado con fines maliciosos puede provocar el cierre inesperado de la aplicación o la corrupción de la memoria del proceso.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Apple macOS. Interaction with the USD library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
The specific flaw exists within the USD library. 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 15.6 addresses bypass, cross site scripting, integer overflow, out of bounds access, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
