CVE-2024-27802

App crash or code execution via crafted file

Published Jun 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Out-of-bounds read in Metal across Apple operating systems allows attackers to crash an app or execute code through a malicious file. Metal inadequately validates file input before reading memory, allowing crafted data to drive a read beyond the intended buffer. Exploitation requires user interaction to process the file and is bounded to app termination or code execution in the affected process.
