Security readout for executives and security teams

This older Apple OS X flaw could let a malicious app make the system write to files it should not. The source bundle identifies affected systems only as OS X before 10.10.4. Business urgency is mainly for legacy Mac fleets that still run unsupported or unpatched OS X versions. Exposure is most likely limited to Macs running Apple OS X versions earlier than 10.10.4. Modern managed fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless they retain legacy OS X systems or unmanaged endpoints. Treat this as a legacy asset hygiene issue unless affected Macs still exist in production. Prioritize discovery and retirement or update of old OS X systems over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected OS X systems to 10.10.4 or later where applicable.; Review Apple advisory APPLE-SA-2015-06-30-2 and HT204942 for vendor guidance.; Remove or isolate legacy Macs that cannot be updated..
