CVE-2025-24266: A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking.
A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Apple fixed a macOS buffer overflow that could let an app crash the system unexpectedly. The source bundle rates it critical with CVSS 9.8, but public wording only confirms system termination, not active compromise or exploitation. Organizations are exposed where managed or unmanaged Macs run macOS versions older than Sequoia 15.4, Sonoma 14.7.5, or Ventura 13.7.5. The bundle does not provide precise affected build ranges beyond the fixed releases. Treat this as a priority macOS patching item because the rating is critical and the vendor has released fixed versions. Urgency is patch-driven, not exploitation-driven, because no provided source confirms active attacks. Mitigation focus: Update Macs to macOS Sequoia 15.4, Sonoma 14.7.5, or Ventura 13.7.5.; Prioritize internet-facing, high-value, and developer workstations for update verification.; Use Apple guidance for any additional product-specific remediation..
