libxslt, as used in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, OS X before 10.11.5, tvOS before 9.2.1, and watchOS before 2.2.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1841 is a libxslt memory corruption flaw affecting older Apple iOS, OS X, tvOS, and watchOS releases. A malicious website could trigger code execution or a crash. The business risk is mainly legacy device exposure: systems still running the listed pre-May 2016 versions should be treated as unsafe for web browsing. Exposure is most likely on unmanaged, legacy, or embedded Apple devices still below iOS 9.3.2, OS X 10.11.5, tvOS 9.2.1, or watchOS 2.2.1. Modern fully updated Apple systems are unlikely to be affected based on the cited Apple advisories. Prioritize remediation where old Apple devices can access the web or process untrusted web content. This is not a current KEV-listed emergency, but the impact includes code execution, so unsupported legacy assets should not remain in normal business use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Apple devices to the fixed versions or later.; Retire devices that cannot receive the relevant Apple security updates.; Review Apple advisories for platform-specific update availability..
