CVE-2024-27815
Apple
CVE-2024-27815 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability affecting Apple devices. Successful exploitation could allow an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
This vulnerability is present in tvOS 17.5, visionOS 1.2, iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, and macOS Sonoma 14.5 and has been addressed through improved input validation. Given the potential for kernel-level code execution, this CVE represents a serious security risk. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 78 highlights the urgency, indicating a significant threat level. While not above the critical threshold of 80, it warrants close attention and prompt patching. The fact it's tagged as "In The Wild" makes patching even more important, as it indicates that it's currently being exploited. Failure to apply the necessary updates could leave systems vulnerable to attack.
