In short

A flaw in how Safari and Apple devices process web content allows an attacker to cause an integer overflow—a math error that overflows a number limit—which can be exploited to run malicious code on your device.

Technical detail

An integer overflow vulnerability in Safari's web content processing allows remote code execution when a user visits a malicious website. The vulnerability requires no user interaction beyond viewing crafted content, and successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the Safari process.
