Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2015-5778 is an Apple CoreMedia Playback memory corruption flaw. A crafted movie file could let a remote attacker run code or crash an affected application on iOS before 8.4.1 or OS X before 10.10.5. The main business risk is unmanaged legacy Apple devices processing untrusted media. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apple endpoints still running iOS versions older than 8.4.1 or OS X versions older than 10.10.5, especially where users can receive or open untrusted movie files. Treat this as a legacy Apple exposure issue. It is serious because the stated impact includes remote code execution, but urgency depends on whether any affected iOS or OS X versions remain in use. Mitigation focus: Update iOS devices to 8.4.1 or later where supported.; Update OS X systems to 10.10.5 or later where supported.; Restrict opening untrusted movie files on unsupported legacy systems..
