CVE-2016-4741
The Assets component in Apple iOS before 10 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to block software updates via vectors related to lack of an HTTPS session for retrieving updates.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
