DescriptionCVE.org

The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8. An attacker may be able to cause unexpected system termination or read kernel memory.

AnalysisAI

Local kernel memory disclosure and denial-of-service vulnerability in macOS 14.x and 15.x prior to patches. An unauthenticated attacker with local access can trigger a memory handling flaw to read kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination. No active exploitation or public exploit code is known; EPSS score is very low (0.14%).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability involves improper memory handling (CWE-119) in the macOS kernel, leading to a buffer overflow condition. This allows an attacker with local code execution to leak sensitive kernel memory contents or destabilize the system, causing a crash. The CPE data indicates all macOS versions prior to the fixed releases are affected.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor patches by upgrading to macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 or macOS Sequoia 15.7.8. No workarounds are provided. Limiting local access and employing the principle of least privilege can reduce risk until patching is completed.
