Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-3701 is a local privilege escalation issue in Apple OS X before 10.10.4. A user already on the Mac could potentially gain higher privileges through a buffer overflow in the Intel Graphics Driver. The sources do not show remote exploitation or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Apple OS X systems earlier than 10.10.4 that include the affected Intel Graphics Driver. The CVE source does not provide precise affected model, hardware, or package details. Treat this as a legacy endpoint risk. It is not supported as remotely exploitable in the sources, but unpatched Macs could let an existing local user or malware gain elevated control. Mitigation focus: Update affected OS X systems to 10.10.4 or later where supported.; Prioritize replacement or isolation of Macs that cannot be updated.; Check Apple advisory HT204942 for vendor-specific update guidance..
