CVE-2016-1861
The NVIDIA Graphics Drivers subsystem in Apple OS X before 10.11.5 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1846.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
