Apples Need Patches Too – 13 of Them
May 25, 2007
According to the latest Apple security update (2007-005), Macs need patches just like any other personal computer. And these aren’t soft and fuzzy patches for iPods.
This security update corrects 17 vulnerabilities affecting software packages that ship as part of OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.9. Some of these vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute any code they choose on your OS X machines.
Three of the fixed vulnerabilities include remote code execution in CoreGraphics, local privilege elevation in PPP, & Denial of Service vulnerability in Bind.
Here’s the complete list:
- Alias Manager
- BIND
- CoreGraphics
- crontabs
- fetchmail
- file
- iChat
- mDNSResponder
- PPP
- ruby
- screen
- texinfo
- VPN
As my good friend Ron always says, “It’s easy to say you’re bullet-proof when nobody’s firing at you.” I use both Macs and PCs, and somehow I don’t think they’ll make a Mac vs. PC ad out of this, do you?
