CVE-2014-1381
Thunderbolt in Apple OS X before 10.9.4 does not properly restrict IOThunderBoltController API calls, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and application crash) via a crafted call.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
