Peaches Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Apple sits on critical Mac bug for 7 months (and counting)Unix flaw fixed in OpenBSD, not OS XBy Dan Goodin in San Francisco 12th January 2010 00Researchers have disclosed a critical vulnerability in the latest version of Mac OS X that they say Apple has sat on for almost seven months without fixing. The buffer overflow flaw could be exploited by attackers to remotely execute malicious code, and virtually all Apple devices - including Mac computers and servers, iPhones, and even Apple TV - are susceptible, one of the researchers, Maksymilian Arciemowicz, told The Register. SecurityReason.com, the Poland-based security firm he works for, alerted Apple to the vulnerability in the middle of June and again last month, but the computer maker has yet to patch the bug.
