Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege-escalation flaw in Apple OS X before 10.10.4. A person or process already able to run code on an affected Mac could potentially gain higher privileges through the Intel Graphics Driver. The public record does not describe remote exploitation, affected hardware detail, or exploit activity. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Macs running Apple OS X earlier than 10.10.4. Modern managed fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless old, unmanaged, lab, kiosk, or archival systems remain online. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue with meaningful local privilege-escalation impact. It should be remediated where old Macs still exist, but the bundle does not support emergency response for active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Update affected OS X systems to 10.10.4 or later using Apple guidance.; Decommission or isolate systems that cannot be updated.; Restrict local accounts on legacy Macs to trusted users only..
