# Apple macOS: out-of-bounds read lets an app crash the system

An out-of-bounds memory read in macOS can be triggered by an app, causing unexpected system termination. The sources describe a denial-of-service effect and do not mention code execution or data exposure.

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

## How to check

- Run `sw_vers -productVersion` on each Mac and compare against the fixed builds listed in the fix field.

## Fix

- Update macOS to `27.2` (Golden Gate), `15.8.2` (Sequoia), or `26.7.2` (Tahoe), or a later release.
