As you probably know, Apple is not responsible actor in this arena. Confer: the number of vulnerabilities left to rot and fester while waiting for the iOS 6/iPhone 5 press release (http://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2012/Sep/msg00003.html), the removal of the toxic Dignotar certificates from the root CA list, etc. Jeff On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 4:22 AM, NCC Group Research <research@...group.com> wrote: > High Risk Vulnerability in Apple Mac OS X Lion > > 27 September 2012 > > Andy Davis of NCC Group has discovered a High risk vulnerability in Apple OS X Lion v10.7 to v10.7.4, OS X Lion Server v10.7 to v10.7.4. > > Impact: Arbitrary Code Execution (bug triggered by USB device insertion) > > Versions affected: > Mac OS X Lion v10.7 to v10.7.4, Mac OS X Lion Server v10.7 to v10.7.4 > > An updated version of the software has been released to address the vulnerability: > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 > > NCC Group is going to withhold details of this flaw for three months. This three month window will allow users the time needed to apply the patch before the details are released to the general public. This reflects the NCC Group approach to responsible disclosure. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
