CVE-2024-27879 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability affecting Apple iOS and iPadOS. Apple states the issue was addressed with improved bounds checks and that successful triggering may cause unexpected app termination. The flaw is fixed in iOS 17.7, iPadOS 17.7, iOS 18, and iPadOS 18. Based on the available information, the vulnerability is consistent with improper bounds checking leading to an out-of-bounds read during processing of attacker-controlled input, resulting in application instability rather than confirmed code execution or data disclosure.
