The kernel 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, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1827, CVE-2016-1828, and CVE-2016-1830.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1829 is an Apple kernel memory corruption issue fixed in May 2016. A malicious crafted app could let an attacker run code with high privileges or crash the device. The main business risk is unmanaged or legacy Apple devices still running iOS, OS X, tvOS, or watchOS versions older than the fixed releases. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Apple devices below the fixed OS versions, especially where users can install untrusted or unmanaged apps. Current, fully updated Apple fleets should not be exposed based on the provided version thresholds. Prioritize this for legacy-device cleanup rather than emergency response. It becomes high urgency if unsupported Apple devices remain in production, handle sensitive data, or allow unmanaged app installation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Apple devices to the fixed versions or later.; Retire or isolate devices unable to receive supported Apple updates.; Restrict installation of untrusted or unmanaged apps where legacy devices remain..
