CVE-2016-1779
WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain physical-location data via a crafted geolocation request.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
