The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6.1 and iPadOS 26.6.1, macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Processing an image may lead to a denial-of-service.
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Apple's image processing subsystem affects iOS/iPadOS (prior to 26.6.1) and macOS Tahoe (prior to 26.6.2), enabling a network-reachable denial-of-service when a user processes a specially crafted image. Apple has released patches across both platform families via support advisories 148281 and 148282. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | User interaction is required - the victim must actively open, preview, or otherwise trigger image decoding of the crafted file; automated remote exploitation without victim action is precluded by the UI:R CVSS metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) accurately reflects the risk profile: network-reachable with low complexity, but requiring user interaction to trigger and limited exclusively to availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update iOS and iPadOS to version 26.6.1 and macOS Tahoe to version 26.6.2 via Settings > General > Software Update (iOS/iPadOS) or System Settings > General > Software Update (macOS). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
