CVE-2014-4376

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—

IOKit in IOAcceleratorFamily in Apple OS X before 10.9.5 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via an application that provides crafted API arguments.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
