CVE-2016-1801
The CFNetwork Proxies subsystem in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, and tvOS before 9.2.1 mishandles URLs in http and https requests, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
