# Apple: out-of-bounds read lets a crafted file crash apps

An out-of-bounds read in an Apple component lets a maliciously crafted file crash the app that processes it. The sources describe only unexpected app termination, not code execution or data disclosure.

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

## How to check

- Check the OS version on Apple devices: iOS or iPadOS below `26.7.2` or `27.2`, macOS below `26.7.2`, `15.8.2` or Golden Gate `27.2`, tvOS or visionOS below `27.2`.

## Fix

- Update iOS and iPadOS to `26.7.2` or `27.2`.
- Update macOS Tahoe to `26.7.2`, macOS Sequoia to `15.8.2`, or macOS Golden Gate to `27.2`.
- Update tvOS and visionOS to `27.2`.
