Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6. A remote attacker may be able to cause unexpected application termination or heap corruption.
AnalysisAI
Memory corruption in multiple Apple operating systems allows remote attackers to trigger buffer overflows that may cause application termination or arbitrary code execution. Affected products include iOS and iPadOS prior to version 26.6, macOS before Sequoia 15.7.8 and Tahoe 26.6, tvOS before 26.6, and visionOS before 26.6; no active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been reported.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from a buffer overflow (CWE-119) in an unspecified Apple operating system component where improper bounds checking allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwrite heap memory. The vulnerability is present in all supported Apple platforms, as indicated by CPE records for iOS/iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS. This class of memory corruption can lead to unpredictable behavior, from denial-of-service crashes to, in worst-case scenarios, remote code execution with the privileges of the affected process.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor updates: upgrade iOS and iPadOS to 26.6, macOS to 15.7.8 (Sequoia) or 26.6 (Tahoe), tvOS to 26.6, and visionOS to 26.6. The fixes are delivered through standard OTA or manual update processes. No viable workarounds are currently documented; given the network attack vector, restricting network access to potentially vulnerable services can serve as a temporary compensating control until patching, though this may impact necessary functionality.
