Multiple vulnerabilities in macOS SMBClient, identified as CVE-2025-24269 and CVE-2025-24235, and an unassigned flaw, allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely and crash systems. These flaws enable remote kernel heap overflow, authentication bypass, and privilege escalation, which can lead to unauthorized process termination and system crashes. Apple has released patches to address these issues, but users should update immediately and disable SMB services as a mitigation measure.
