IOMobileFrameBuffer, a kernel-level display component in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS, contains a memory corruption bug that lets an application execute code with kernel privileges. Kernel code execution on a phone means total device compromise, beyond anything app sandboxing can contain. High Severity (CVSS 7.8), a 29% EPSS score, and confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.
