5DescriptionCVE.org
The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. 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 attacker on the local network may be able to cause a denial-of-service.
AnalysisAI
Denial-of-service in multiple Apple operating systems allows a local network attacker to cause resource exhaustion and system unavailability. The vulnerability is addressed in 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. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at this time, and the EPSS score is low (0.17%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a CWE-400 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, stemming from improper memory handling in Apple's operating system core components. Affected products include iOS & iPadOS, macOS (multiple versions), tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS, as identified by the CPE strings. The root cause involves a lack of bounds or resource limits when processing certain network input, leading to excessive memory consumption.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patches immediately. For iOS/iPadOS, upgrade to version 26.6; for macOS, upgrade to Sequoia 15.7.8, Sonoma 14.8.8, or Tahoe 26.6; for tvOS to 26.6; for visionOS to 26.6; for watchOS to 26.6. No workarounds are provided; however, restricting network access to trusted devices only may reduce exposure. Side effect: upgrading may require rebooting devices and could introduce compatibility issues with older applications.
