Use-after-free vulnerability in the kernel in Apple iOS before 9.3, OS X before 10.11.4, tvOS before 9.2, and watchOS before 2.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.59%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
