CVE-2025-43400 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Apple’s FontParser component affecting multiple Apple operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. The flaw occurs during processing of a maliciously crafted font and was remediated through improved bounds checking. Successful triggering can cause unexpected application termination or corruption of process memory. Because the bug is a memory corruption issue in a font parsing component that may be reached when content is rendered or opened by an application or system process, exploitation may extend beyond a simple crash depending on exploit reliability and execution context.
