# Apple OS: out-of-bounds access lets a crafted media file crash apps

An out-of-bounds memory access in Apple's operating systems is triggered by processing a maliciously crafted media file. It may terminate the app or corrupt process memory.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed OS version under Settings > General > About (iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, tvOS) or `sw_vers` on macOS
- Compare against the fixed versions: iOS 26.7, iPadOS 26.7, iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, tvOS 27.2, visionOS 27.2

## Fix

- Update iOS and iPadOS to `26.7` or `27.2`
- Update macOS Sequoia to `15.8.2`, macOS Tahoe to `26.7.2`, or macOS Golden Gate to `27.2`
- Update tvOS and visionOS to `27.2`
