Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-3699 is a local privilege escalation flaw in the Intel Graphics Driver on Apple OS X before 10.10.4. A person or process already able to run code locally could potentially gain higher privileges. The sources do not describe remote exploitation or active attacks. Exposure appears limited to legacy Apple OS X systems before 10.10.4 with the Intel Graphics Driver. The attacker must be a local user or have local code execution. The bundle does not identify affected hardware models or modern macOS versions. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk. It is not presented as remotely exploitable, but it can increase the impact of malware or insider access on old OS X systems. Prioritize remediation where unsupported Macs still handle sensitive business data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected OS X systems to 10.10.4 or later.; Check Apple advisory HT204942 for official update guidance.; Retire or isolate systems that cannot receive vendor updates..
