CVE-2016-1741 describes a critical memory corruption vulnerability within the NVIDIA Graphics Drivers subsystem in Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11.4. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileged access or trigger a denial of service by enticing a user to open a specially crafted application. With a CVSS v3 score of 9.8 (Critical), the vulnerability is easily exploitable over a network with low attack complexity, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
