AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

An out-of-bounds read in Apple OS kernels could allow an app to leak sensitive kernel state.

Vulnerability

An out-of-bounds read issue exists in the kernel component of Apple operating systems, addressed with improved input validation. The vulnerability affects iOS 15.7.6 and iPadOS 15.7.6, macOS Big Sur 11.7.7, macOS Monterey 12.6.6, and macOS Ventura 13.4 [1][2][3][4].

Exploitation

An attacker would need to have an app installed on the device, as the issue requires local code execution to trigger the out-of-bounds read. No additional privileges or user interaction beyond app launch are described; the app can simply read beyond the intended bounds to access kernel memory [1][2][3][4].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the malicious app to leak sensitive kernel state, potentially including cryptographic keys, process credentials, or other confidential data held in kernel memory, leading to information disclosure [1][2][3][4].

Mitigation

Apple released fixes on May 18, 2023, in iOS 15.7.6 and iPadOS 15.7.6, macOS Big Sur 11.7.7, macOS Monterey 12.6.6, and macOS Ventura 13.4 [1][2][3][4]. Users should update to the latest available versions. No workaround is documented.
