CVE-2011-0201
Off-by-one error in the CoreFoundation framework in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.8 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a CFString object that triggers a buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
