Incoming for Mac Users

Righto, on Tuesday, Dave Aitel’s Immunity Inc released details for 4 security issues for Mac OS X 10.3 + Darwin. There is no vendor patch as yet, as Apple where not told until after the advisory release. There are a couple issues in there that could be serious in some circumstances, but normally they should be low to medium risk issues, there is a ‘logic’ issue which can allow any system user to read any file including those they don’t normally have access to, which is nice.

So peeps remember to get your patches as soon as they are released. If you want more info take a look at the article just posted to VDot here.
