Use-After-Free in Apple iOS, iPadOS, and macOS Kernel
CVE-2023-41995 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Apple platforms that was fixed in iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma 14. Apple states that the issue was addressed with improved memory management and that exploitation may allow an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Based on the vendor description, the flaw involves improper lifetime management of memory in a kernel-reachable component, creating a condition where freed memory can be reused in a way that enables controlled corruption or code execution in kernel context. The specific vulnerable function or subsystem is not identified in the provided content.
