A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Apple iOS 8.1.2 (Smartphone Operating System). This affects some unknown processing of the component IOSurface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
IOSurface in Apple iOS before 8.2, Apple OS X through 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app that leverages "type confusion" during serialized-object handling.
