Apple acknowledged a macOS kernel bug that disrupts TCP networking connections after approximately 49 days of continuous uptime, affecting applications like OpenClaw. First reported April 6, the issue stems from an integer overflow in the networking stack that triggers after 49.7 days without a system restart. Apple did not immediately release a patch, leaving users with network interruptions as the primary symptom. Security researchers noted the bug's rarity means most users won't encounter it, though those maintaining long uptimes should restart their systems more frequently.
