CVE-2014-4435
The "iCloud Find My Mac" feature in Apple OS X before 10.10 does not properly enforce rate limiting of lost-mode PIN entry, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack involving a series of reboots.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
