CVE-2021-30983

A buffer overflow in iOS and iPadOS allowed code execution with kernel privileges, actively exploited in the wild and impacting DIB organizations using Apple devices in their environments.

CVE-2021-30983 represents a buffer overflow vulnerability in Apple's iOS and iPadOS, enabling arbitrary code execution at the kernel level. This is particularly concerning for DIB organizations as it could lead to system compromise and data exfiltration, directly impacting CMMC compliance. Immediate patching and vulnerability scanning are critical.

Shame score — The vulnerability's exploitation in the wild and potential for kernel-level code execution demonstrates a significant security oversight by Apple, warranting a high embarrassment score.
