Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2015-5747 is an Apple OS X kernel issue in the fasttrap driver. A local user could cause denial of service through resource consumption. The source bundle identifies OS X before 10.10.5 as affected, but does not provide CVSS, CWE, or detailed attack mechanics. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Apple OS X systems older than 10.10.5 where untrusted or compromised local users can run code. Modern macOS versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. It is not evidenced as remotely exploitable or actively exploited, but unpatched older OS X systems could suffer local availability disruption and should be upgraded or retired. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected OS X systems to 10.10.5 or a later vendor-supported release.; Review Apple advisory HT205031 and APPLE-SA-2015-08-13-2 for vendor guidance.; Retire or isolate legacy Macs that cannot receive the relevant Apple security update..
