ASLR bypass via out-of-bounds access in Apple operating systems
CVE-2025-43205 is an out-of-bounds access vulnerability in Apple platforms, fixed in watchOS 11.4, tvOS 18.4, visionOS 2.4, iOS 18.4, and iPadOS 18.4. Apple states that an app may be able to bypass ASLR as a result of this flaw, and that the issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. Based on the available information, the vulnerability involves improper validation of memory access boundaries that can permit access outside the intended buffer or object bounds, enabling disclosure of memory layout information useful for defeating address space randomization.
