# Apple iOS and macOS: crafted image can leak process memory

An uninitialized memory flaw in Apple's image handling lets a maliciously crafted image cause the process to disclose its memory. The sources do not say the flaw allows code execution or takeover.

_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 `sw_vers` on macOS
- unknown for any other check, the sources do not say

## 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`, macOS Golden Gate to `27.2`
- Update visionOS to `27.2`
