Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions iOS versions prior to 10.3 macOS versions prior to 10.12.4 tvOS versions prior to 10.2 watchOS versions prior to 3.2

Description The issue involves the Audio component and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted audio file. This is due to a heap-based buffer overflow in the Audio component, which can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted audio file.

Recommendations For iOS versions prior to 10.3, update to version 10.3 or later. For macOS versions prior to 10.12.4, update to version 10.12.4 or later. For tvOS versions prior to 10.2, update to version 10.2 or later. For watchOS versions prior to 3.2, update to version 3.2 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Audio component until a patch is available.
