Kernel-memory disclosure via deficient memory handling
Published Sep 20, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Kernel memory disclosure in Apple iOS before 16 and macOS Big Sur before 11.7 or Monterey before 12.6 allows local users to read kernel memory. Apple identifies the Kernel component and deficient memory handling but has not published the affected routine or precise memory operation. A locally installed app and low user privileges are required; the reported consequence is kernel-memory disclosure without integrity or availability impact.

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.
