# Safari and Apple OSes: use-after-free crashes browser on crafted web content

A use-after-free flaw in Safari and several Apple operating systems is fixed in Safari 27.2, iOS 26.7.2, iPadOS 26.7.2, iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2 and visionOS 27.2. Processing maliciously crafted web content may terminate the process unexpectedly, and the sources describe a crash rather than code execution.
