Application crash via insufficiently checked ARKit file
Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Denial of service in ARKit in Apple iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS allows attackers to crash apps by parsing a file. Apple states that improved checks addressed the issue but has not disclosed the parser operation that mishandles the file. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction; the reported consequence is application termination without data exposure or modification.
