Restricted-memory disclosure via Audio memory corruption
Published Sep 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Memory corruption in the Audio component of affected Apple operating systems allows local applications to read restricted memory. Apple identifies inadequate validation in Audio as the cause but has not disclosed the malformed input, affected routine, or exact memory operation. Execution of an application on the device is required, and the documented consequence is limited to exposure of memory that the application normally cannot access.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
