Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1791 is an Apple OS X information disclosure issue in the AMD subsystem. A malicious crafted app could reveal sensitive kernel memory-layout details. That information can help attackers defeat operating-system defenses, but the source bundle does not show direct system compromise or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Mac systems running Apple OS X earlier than 10.11.5. Current supported macOS fleets are unlikely to be exposed, but unmanaged, lab, kiosk, or archival Macs should be checked. Prioritize remediation for any legacy Macs that remain in business use, especially where users can install or run third-party apps. This is not evidenced as actively exploited, but it weakens kernel protections. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected OS X systems to 10.11.5 or later.; Retire or isolate Macs that cannot receive Apple security updates.; Restrict execution of untrusted applications on legacy Macs..
