A vulnerability in the macOS Kernel allowed a local application to modify protected parts of the file system. Apple described the issue as a denial-of-service flaw and stated that it was remediated by removing the vulnerable code. The issue affected macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia, and macOS Tahoe prior to macOS Sonoma 14.8.7, macOS Sequoia 15.7.7, and macOS Tahoe 26.5. The available information indicates a failure in kernel-level protection or enforcement around restricted file system areas, enabling an app to alter locations that should not be writable.
