Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In September 2021
A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.7, macOS Big Sur 11.5. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
Multiple memory corruption issues were addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in tvOS 14.6, iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6, Safari 14.1.1, macOS Big Sur 11.4, watchOS 7.5. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution.
The issue was addressed with improved permissions logic. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.3. A malicious application may be able to access the user's recent contacts.
This issue was addressed with improved data protection. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.4. A malicious application may be able to bypass certain Privacy preferences.
Processing a maliciously crafted image may lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.3, iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4, tvOS 14.5. An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation.
Processing a maliciously crafted font may result in the disclosure of process memory. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.4, tvOS 14.6, watchOS 7.5, iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6. An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation.

Medium by Adobe version 2.4.5.331 (and earlier) is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing a crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve remote code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop 3.5 (and earlier) is affected by an uncontrolled search path vulnerability that could result in elevation of privileges. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must log on to the attacker's local machine.
Another race in XENMAPSPACE_grant_table handling Guests are permitted access to certain Xen-owned pages of memory. The majority of such pages remain allocated / associated with a guest for its entire lifetime. Grant table v2 status pages, however, are de-allocated when a guest switches (back) from v2 to v1. Freeing such pages requires that the hypervisor enforce that no parallel request can result in the addition of a mapping of such a page to a guest. That enforcement was missing, allowing guests to retain access to pages that were freed and perhaps re-used for other purposes. Unfortunately, when XSA-379 was being prepared, this similar issue was not noticed.
