2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24149)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in SceneKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-54497)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in QuartzCore. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24104)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue in Managed Configuration when restoring data from a specially crafted backup file. A local user can overwrite protected filesystem files and escalate privileges on the system.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24166)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in libxslt. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24117)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in LaunchServices. A local application can fingerprint the user.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24159)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions within the OS kernel. A local application can execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24086)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ImageIO. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24137)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error in AirPlay. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the device, trigger a type confusion error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
10) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24102)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in CoreRoutine. A local application can determine a user’s current location.
11) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24124)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted MOV file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24123)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted MOV file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
13) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24163)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in CoreAudio. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted media file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24160)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in CoreAudio. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted media file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24161)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in CoreAudio. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted media file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24127)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
