CVE-2016-4728
WebKit in Apple iOS before 10, tvOS before 10, iTunes before 12.5.1 on Windows, and Safari before 10 mishandles error prototypes, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
