Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.12.1
Description The issue involves the ImageIO component and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted SGI file. This is due to an out-of-bounds memory access, which can lead to an application crash.
Recommendations For macOS versions prior to 10.12.1, update to version 10.12.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the ImageIO component with untrusted SGI files until a patch is applied.
