CVE-2014-4402
HighSummary
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.
Risk Assessment
The lack of proper bounds checking may lead to the execution of malicious code, posing a serious threat to system security and user data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the system to version 10.9.5 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
