CVE-2016-4717
The File Bookmark component in Apple OS X before 10.12 mishandles scoped-bookmark file descriptors, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted app.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
