The Disk Images subsystem in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, tvOS before 9.2.1, and watchOS before 2.2.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1808 is an Apple Disk Images memory corruption flaw. On affected Apple platforms, a maliciously crafted app could run code with privileged rights or crash the device. The issue was fixed in 2016 Apple platform updates; business risk mainly remains on legacy or unsupported devices. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apple devices that have not reached iOS 9.3.2, OS X 10.11.5, tvOS 9.2.1, or watchOS 2.2.1. Environments allowing unmanaged app installation have higher practical exposure. Prioritize remediation for any legacy Apple devices still in production, especially those with access to sensitive data or app installation freedom. Current, fully updated Apple fleets are unlikely to be exposed based on the supplied fixed-version information. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected iOS devices to 9.3.2 or later where supported.; Upgrade affected OS X systems to 10.11.5 or later where supported.; Upgrade affected tvOS devices to 9.2.1 or later where supported..
