CVE-2011-0229
Apple Type Services (ATS) in Apple Mac OS X through 10.6.8 does not properly handle embedded Type 1 fonts, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
