**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Apple iOS versions prior to 17 Apple iPadOS versions prior to 17 Apple macOS versions prior to 14 **Description** This issue involves a use-after-free condition addressed through improved memory management. A malicious application may potentially execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Proof-of-concept (PoC) code has been released, and a researcher was awarded a $70,000 bounty for revealing the flaw. The vulnerability, also known as 'Landa', affects the XNU kernel. Exploitation does not necessarily lead to kernel corruption requiring cleanup to prevent a kernel panic. The issue is considered a Latest Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV). **Recommendations** Update Apple iOS to version 17 or later. Update Apple iPadOS to version 17 or later. Update Apple macOS to version 14 or later.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** macOS versions prior to 13.3 **Description** A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue may allow an app to cause unexpected system termination or write kernel memory. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 13.3, update to macOS Ventura 13.3 to resolve the issue.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** macOS Ventura versions 13.3 and earlier iOS versions 16.4 and earlier, 15.7.4 and earlier iPadOS versions 16.4 and earlier, 15.7.4 and earlier macOS Big Sur version 11.7.5 and earlier macOS Monterey version 12.6.4 and earlier tvOS version 16.4 and earlier watchOS version 9.4 and earlier **Description** The issue is related to a buffer overflow in memory, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. This is due to insufficient bounds checks, allowing an app to potentially exploit the vulnerability. The issue was addressed with improved bounds checks. **Recommendations** For macOS Ventura versions prior to 13.3, update to macOS Ventura 13.3. For iOS versions prior to 16.4, update to iOS 16.4. For iPadOS versions prior to 16.4, update to iPadOS 16.4. For macOS Big Sur versions prior to 11.7.5, update to macOS Big Sur 11.7.5. For macOS Monterey versions prior to 12.6.4, update to macOS Monterey 12.6.4. For tvOS versions prior to 16.4, update to tvOS 16.4. For watchOS versions prior to 9.4, update to watchOS 9.4.
