CVE-2026-43666 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Apple's mDNSResponder component. The flaw was addressed through improved bounds checking. It affects multiple Apple operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS, and is reachable by an attacker on the local network. Successful triggering can cause a denial-of-service condition. Publicly available information does not provide the specific vulnerable function or code path beyond identifying mDNSResponder as the affected component.
