Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS Sonoma versions prior to 14.2

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the AppleGraphicsControl component of the macOS Sonoma operating system. It may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted file. The problem is associated with memory corruption issues, which can be triggered by processing a maliciously crafted file, potentially leading to unexpected app termination or arbitrary code execution.
