Integer Overflow DoS in Apple AirPlay

IdentifiersCVE-2025-31203CWE-190· Integer Overflow or Wraparound

CVE-2025-31203 is an integer overflow vulnerability in Apple's AirPlay-related functionality. Apple states that the issue was addressed through improved input validation. A successful attack can be carried out by an attacker on the same local network and may cause a denial-of-service condition. The available advisory information does not identify the specific vulnerable function or code path, but the flaw is characterized as an integer overflow reachable over the local network in AirPlay-capable Apple platforms.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation may allow a local-network attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition, resulting in unexpected termination, service disruption, or temporary unavailability of the affected AirPlay-related component or device functionality. Based on the provided information, there is no specific evidence that this CVE alone provides code execution or data disclosure.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until patches are applied, reduce exposure by limiting access from untrusted local networks, disabling AirPlay receiver functionality where not required, and restricting AirPlay access settings to the narrowest possible audience rather than allowing broad same-network access. Network segmentation and avoiding untrusted/shared Wi-Fi can also reduce exploitability from adjacent attackers.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply Apple's security updates that fix CVE-2025-31203. Apple indicates the issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, iPadOS 17.7.6, tvOS 18.4, watchOS 11.4, and visionOS 2.4.
