The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in Safari 18.6, iOS 18.6 and iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, tvOS 18.6, visionOS 2.6, watchOS 11.6. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to an unexpected Safari crash.
AnalysisAI
Safari and Apple platform web content processing crashes due to a buffer overflow vulnerability when handling maliciously crafted web content. Affects Safari 18.5 and earlier, iOS 18.5 and earlier, iPadOS 18.5 and earlier, macOS Sequoia 15.5 and earlier, tvOS 18.5 and earlier, visionOS 2.5 and earlier, and watchOS 11.5 and earlier. Unauthenticated remote attackers can trigger a denial of service by enticing users to visit a malicious webpage, resulting in application crash with no data theft or code execution capability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS score of 0.12% indicates low real-world exploitation probability despite moderate CVSS rating.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a buffer overflow (CWE-119) within Apple's web content rendering engine, affecting memory handling during processing of specially crafted HTML, JavaScript, or other web-native content formats. The issue spans multiple Apple platforms sharing common WebKit-based rendering components, including Safari (standalone browser), iOS/iPadOS (mobile operating systems), macOS Sequoia (desktop), tvOS (television), visionOS (spatial computing), and watchOS (wearable). The buffer overflow occurs without memory safety violations in safe languages, suggesting insufficient bounds checking in native code handling parsed web content-a common attack surface in browser engines when processing malformed or adversarial markup and scripts.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Safari 18.6, iOS 18.6, iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, tvOS 18.6, visionOS 2.6, and watchOS 11.6. All users should immediately update their Apple devices and browsers to these patched versions. Update instructions are provided in Apple's official support documents: https://support.apple.com/en-us/124147 (iOS), https://support.apple.com/en-us/124149 (iPadOS), https://support.apple.com/en-us/124152 (macOS Sequoia), https://support.apple.com/en-us/124153 (tvOS), https://support.apple.com/en-us/124154 (visionOS), and https://support.apple.com/en-us/124155 (watchOS). No known workarounds exist; patching is the only remediation. Until updates can be deployed, users should avoid visiting untrusted or suspicious websites.
