Apple recommends that all users download the update, which can be acquired through the Software Update tool in the Mac App Store, or through the links below. According to Apple, the update "improves the security of OS X." There are two different versions available, one for early 2015 Macs and one for earlier Macs.

iCloud Keychain
Available for: OS X Yosemite v10.10.2

to execute arbitrary code
Description: Multiple buffer overflows existed in the handling of
data during iCloud Keychain recovery. These issues were addressed
through improved bounds checking.
CVE-ID

IOSurface
Available for: OS X Yosemite v10.10.2
Impact: A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary
code with system privileges

of serialized objects. The issue was addressed through additional
type checking.

Today's security update comes 10 days after Apple issued Security Update 2015–002 designed to fix the “FREAK” security flaw that left many devices vulnerable to hacking attempts.

Seems to me there are no Graphics extensions updated.

The nvidia drivers look for a specific compatible OS build number.

Maybe not but this is inside the Security Update:

Edit: System version of this update is 14C1514

Hmm, one of the dylib's has "coretls" in the name, could be related to the OpenSSL security flaws announced recently?
