Subject: MacOS/iPhone/Apple Watch/Apple TV libc File System Buffer Overflow

Hi @ll,

Today Apple fixed buffer overflow issue in LIBC/FTS (CVE-2015-7039).

Patch available for: 
- OS X El Capitan v10.11 and v10.11.1
- iPhone 4s and later,
- Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch, Apple Watch Edition, and Apple Watch Hermes
- Apple TV (4th generation)

Impact:  Processing a maliciously crafted package may lead to arbitrary code execution
Description:  Multiple buffer overflows existed in the C standard library. These issues were addressed through improved bounds
