CVE-2015-3691
The Monitor Control Command Set kernel extension in the Display Drivers subsystem in Apple OS X before 10.10.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app that leverages control of a function pointer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.71%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
