CVE-2009-0959
The MPEG-4 video codec in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reset) via a crafted MPEG-4 video file that triggers an "input validation issue."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
