Technical details
A memory corruption vulnerability exists in macOS Monterey due to improper state management when handling memory shared between processes. A local attacker can exploit this by running a malicious application that manipulates shared memory regions, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or unauthorized data access across process boundaries. The issue was resolved in macOS Monterey 12.4 by implementing more robust state management logic. While specific CVSS scores were not provided in the advisory, memory corruption in OS-level shared memory typically warrants a medium to high severity rating depending on the level of privilege escalation achieved.
