CVE-2013-5141
The kernel in Apple iOS before 7 uses an incorrect data size for a certain integer variable, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and device hang) via a crafted application, related to an "integer truncation vulnerability."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.62%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
