# Apple iOS and macOS: crafted image leaks process memory via out-of-bounds read

An out-of-bounds read in Apple's image processing lets a maliciously crafted image disclose process memory. Fixed in iOS 26.7.2, iPadOS 26.7.2, iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 and visionOS 27.2.

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

## How to check

- Check the device OS version in Settings > General > About (iOS, iPadOS, visionOS) or run `sw_vers` on macOS
