Summary
Apple iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS and visionOS are affected by an out-of-bounds access flaw (CWE-787) that lets software write outside the bounds of a buffer. A remote unauthenticated attacker needs a user to process a maliciously crafted media file, which may terminate the app or corrupt process memory.
