Recently, the Network Security Threat and Vulnerability Information Sharing Platform (NVDB), operated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), has identified critical out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities within Apple's iOS, iPadOS, and macOS operating systems. These vulnerabilities have been actively exploited in cyberattacks, posing a significant security threat. The root cause lies in flaws within the ImageIO framework, which can lead to memory corruption when these systems process malicious image files. In response, Apple has promptly addressed the issue, releasing a security update to patch the vulnerability along with a detailed security advisory. To mitigate potential risks, it is strongly advised that relevant organizations and users promptly assess their systems for any signs of compromise and upgrade to the latest secure versions of the operating systems without delay, thereby fortifying their defenses against potential cyber threats.
