Code execution via malicious STL processing
Published Mar 18, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information disclosure in Model I/O on affected Apple operating systems allows context-dependent attackers to execute code via a malicious STL file. Apple reports defective state management during untrusted STL processing but has not disclosed the faulty operation or code locus. Exploitation requires a user or application to process attacker-supplied STL content and can terminate the application or execute code in its context.
