Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination.
AnalysisAI
Unexpected system termination in Apple macOS allows a local application to trigger an integer overflow, causing denial-of-service. Versions prior to Sequoia 15.7.8, Sonoma 14.8.8, and Tahoe 26.6 are affected. The vulnerability has a low exploitation likelihood (EPSS 0.16%) and no known active exploitation or public exploit code.
Technical ContextAI
An integer overflow (CWE-190) exists in macOS due to insufficient input validation. The flaw likely resides in a kernel or system component that processes values from locally executed applications. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:apple:macos:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product is the macOS operating system across all versions prior to the fixed releases.
RemediationAI
Apply the latest security updates from Apple: upgrade to macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, Sonoma 14.8.8, or Tahoe 26.6. No workarounds are recommended; mitigate by avoiding execution of untrusted applications until patching is complete.
