# Apple iOS and macOS: crafted message can crash the system via stack overflow

A stack overflow in Apple's operating systems is triggered when the system processes a maliciously crafted message. The sources say the result is a denial of service, meaning the affected component can be made to crash or stop responding.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check
