A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination.
AnalysisAI
A use-after-free memory management flaw in Apple iOS and iPadOS allows a locally installed application to crash the system, causing unexpected device termination (denial of service). All versions prior to iOS 27 / iPadOS 27 are affected per the vendor CPE wildcard and ENISA EUVD version range (0 < 27). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the ability to install and run an application in the iOS/iPadOS app sandbox on a device running a version below iOS 27 (CVSS PR:L, AV:L) - no user interaction is needed once the app is executed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 3.1 scores this 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) - a local, low-complexity, low-privilege availability-only issue with no user interaction. … 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 all iPhones and iPads to iOS 27 / iPadOS 27, which contains the memory-management fix for this use-after-free; this is the only complete remediation and there is no configuration-only workaround that removes the vulnerable code path, since the flaw is reachable from app context. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
