The vulnerability affects Apple platforms including visionOS, watchOS, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS prior to the fixed releases. Based on the advisory, the flaw is triggered during handling of attacker-controlled web content and results in a crash of the affected process rather than code execution in the available documentation.
