CVE-2015-7038
Buffer overflow in libc in Apple iOS before 9.2, OS X before 10.11.2, tvOS before 9.1, and watchOS before 2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted package, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7039.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
