CRITICAL 9.8

DescriptionCVE.org

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

Denial-of-service (unexpected system termination) affects Apple's shared OS platforms - iOS/iPadOS before 26.6, macOS Sequoia before 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma before 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe/tvOS/visionOS/watchOS before 26.6 - where a use-after-free (CWE-416) lets a locally installed app crash the system. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the NVD CVSS 9.8 (C:H/I:H/A:H) conflicts with Apple's own description, which states only 'unexpected system termination' (availability impact), suggesting the true impact is a DoS crash rather than full compromise. EPSS is low (0.17%, 6th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The root cause is a use-after-free (CWE-416): code continues to reference a memory region after it has been freed, allowing a dangling pointer to be dereferenced and corrupt process/kernel state, which Apple resolved 'with improved memory management.' Per the CPE data the flaw spans Apple's shared codebase across cpe:2.3:a:apple:ios_and_ipados, :macos, :tvos, :visionos and :watchos, indicating the vulnerable component is common framework/OS code reused across all Apple operating systems rather than a single product. The manifestation - an installed app triggering the condition - points to an app-reachable system service or kernel/framework interface whose object lifecycle is mishandled.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patches: upgrade to iOS/iPadOS 26.6, macOS Tahoe 26.6, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, tvOS 26.6, visionOS 26.6, and watchOS 26.6, which contain the improved memory-management fix. Consult the matching Apple security notes at https://support.apple.com/en-us/128066 through /128072 to map each note to your platform. Because exploitation requires a locally installed app, the primary compensating control until patching is restricting app installation to trusted/vetted sources (App Store / MDM-approved apps) and removing untrusted apps; on managed fleets, enforce MDM allow-listing - the trade-off is reduced user flexibility in installing arbitrary software.
