WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3, Safari before 9.1, and tvOS before 9.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
