CVE-2026-113912 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

iOS and iPadOS devices are affected by an out-of-bounds access vulnerability in their media processing components. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious media file that, when processed, causes the app to terminate unexpectedly or corrupts device memory. This could lead to application crashes or potential data corruption on iPhones and iPads.
