"Kritiskt" säkerhetshål i OS X

"A security researcher has published attack code for an unpatched flaw in Mac OS X.

The proof-of-concept code exploits a security hole in the way Apple's operating system handles disk image files, the researcher wrote on a blog devoted to a 'Month of Kernel Bugs' campaign which promises to reveal details of a new flaw in low-level software every day this month."

"Secunia rated the vulnerability as "highly critical" in an advisory on its website. In addition to being used to compromise a computer, the flaw could be exploited by malicious local users to gain escalated privileges to the system, the security company said."

In the blog, LMH said people can prevent an attack by "changing the Preferences and deactivating the functionality for opening 'safe' files after downloading".

Tja så gammalt kan det inte direkt vara då det först verkar ha rapporterades den 20/11.
Men visst jag kunde ha struntat i att posta infon, skall tänka på det tills nästa gång.
