New! CVE Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for CVEs has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. CVEs that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Description

An unspecified IOAcceleratorFamily function in Apple OS X before 10.9.5 lacks proper bounds checking on read operations, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted application.
