Today, Apple released macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and Safari updates.

Three of the vulnerabilities are already exploited in the wild. Combining the three vulnerabilities, an attacker can gain complete system access as the user visits a malicious website. CVE-2023-32373 allows for arbitrary code execution as WebKit processes malicious content. CVE-2023-32409, in turn, enables breaking out of the web content sandbox, completing the full system compromise. The vulnerabilities are not indicated as "patched" for older versions of macOS, but they are covered in the Safari update, which applies the patch to older versions of macOS.

As usual, Apple's vulnerability descriptions are terse. As promised in a prior diary, I let ChatGPT "guess" the CVSS score for these updates. Let me know if you agree or not. The rating (moderate/important/critical) are mine. ChatGPT refused to provide a CVSS score for some vulnerabilities based on insufficient information. Let me know if you feel ChatGPT did ok or not (or if it is worthwhile keeping these ChatGPT CVSS scores or not)

Thanks for the breakdown, in the summary at the top you mention 3 vulnerabilities that could be combined, but only describe two of them (CVE-2023-32373 and CVE-2023-32409) which is the other one?
