The CVSS vector indicates local attack access, no privileges required, and user interaction required. The provided data does not describe the specific user action beyond processing a maliciously crafted asset catalog.

2

Which systems have fixes available?

Fixes are listed for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27. The affected software list includes Apple iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS.
