IOHIDFamily in Apple iOS before 8.1.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3 does not properly initialize event queues, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted app.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Apple systems had a flaw in IOHIDFamily, a low-level input subsystem. A malicious app could trigger a crash or run code with elevated privileges. The affected versions are iOS before 8.1.3, OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apple devices still running iOS earlier than 8.1.3, OS X earlier than 10.10.2, or Apple TV earlier than 7.0.3. Current managed fleets should validate exceptions, lab devices, kiosks, and unsupported hardware. Treat this as a legacy Apple fleet risk. It is high impact if vulnerable devices remain in use, but urgency depends on whether outdated devices can still run untrusted apps in your environment. Mitigation focus: Upgrade iOS devices to 8.1.3 or later where supported.; Upgrade OS X systems to 10.10.2 or later where supported.; Upgrade Apple TV devices to 7.0.3 or later where supported..
