    descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.9.5 or 10.10.5 that is missing Security Update 2015-004 or 2015-007. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components : - Accelerate Framework - apache_mod_php - ATS - Audio - CFNetwork - CoreGraphics - CoreText - EFI - FontParser - Grand Central Dispatch - ImageIO - IOAcceleratorFamily - Kernel - libarchive - MCX Application Restrictions - OpenGL Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
