CVE-2013-5176
The kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not properly handle integer values during unspecified tty device operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by triggering a truncation error.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
