TITLE

Apple ImageIO Input validation error vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.2, Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave, watchOS 7.3, tvOS 14.4, iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4. Processing a maliciously crafted image may lead to a denial of service. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of user-provided input when image files are processed in the ImageIO component in macOS, so this vulnerability exists. A remote attacker could deliver a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack. Vulnerabilities exist in the following products or versions: macOS 11.0, macOS 11.0.1, macOS 11.1. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 APPLE-SA-2021-02-01-2 Additional information for APPLE-SA-2021-01-26-1 iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 addresses the following issues.
