A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6, watchOS 26.6. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination.
AnalysisAI
Local denial-of-service in Apple operating systems via a use-after-free vulnerability allows an app to cause unexpected system termination. Affected versions include iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6, and watchOS 26.6. While the NVD assigns CVSS 9.8, the actual impact is limited to availability; no active exploitation or public exploit code is identified, and EPSS indicates very low exploitation probability (0.17%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in an unspecified kernel or system component, addressed by improved memory management. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after the memory it points to has been freed, leading to potential memory corruption or system instability. Affected products, identified by CPE, include Apple's iOS and iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS operating systems across multiple major versions.
RemediationAI
Apply vendor patches: update to iOS and iPadOS 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6, and watchOS 26.6. No workarounds are provided; device owners should enable automatic updates. The advisory URLs from Apple confirm these fixed versions. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict app installation to trusted sources to mitigate the risk of a malicious app exploiting this local-only vulnerability.
