Kernel-memory disclosure via out-of-bounds read
Published Aug 14, 2023 · Updated Oct 9, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in the macOS Ventura kernel before 13.3 allows local users to disclose kernel memory through a malicious app. The kernel reads beyond an intended buffer after insufficient validation of app-supplied input; Apple has not identified the affected interface. Execution of the app requires user interaction, and 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?
