CVE-2019-7287 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Apple IOKit affecting iPhone 5s and later, iPad Air and later, and iPod touch 6th generation prior to iOS 12.1.4. Apple states the issue was addressed through improved input validation. Successful exploitation allows a local application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Public reporting from Google Project Zero/TAG indicates the flaw was used as part of at least one in-the-wild iPhone privilege-escalation chain and was still unpatched at the time of discovery, contributing to exploit chains observed in a watering-hole campaign.
