CVE-2026-112665: Apple iOS kernel memory disclosure via state management

CVE-2026-112665 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

iOS, iPadOS, and related Apple operating systems contain an information disclosure flaw that allows installed apps to determine the memory layout of the operating system kernel. This could enable attackers to bypass security protections that rely on address randomization, potentially facilitating further exploitation of other vulnerabilities.

Technologies: macOS Golden Gate, macOS Tahoe.

Check whether you run iOS, iPadOS, macOS Golden Gate or one of the others listed at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: iOS 26.7.2, iOS 27.2, iPadOS 26.7.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS Golden Gate 27.2, macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, tvOS 27.2, visionOS 27.2, watchOS 27.2

Technical details

An information disclosure vulnerability in Apple's state management allows an app to determine kernel memory layout through improved state management fixes in iOS 26.7.2, 27.2 and related OS versions. The vulnerability is local to the device and requires an installed app; an attacker gains the ability to leak kernel memory addresses, defeating address space layout randomization (ASLR) defenses.

Affected products

  • iOS before 26.7.2, before 27.2
  • iPadOS before 26.7.2, before 27.2
  • macOS Golden Gate before 27.2
  • macOS Tahoe before 26.7.2
  • tvOS before 27.2
  • visionOS before 27.2
  • watchOS before 27.2
