Secunia Reports Mac OS X FTP Vulnerability
http://www.macobserver.com/article/2006/12/05.8.shtml

The security firm Secunia is reporting that it has uncovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in Mac OS X's ftpd function. The report states that if a system is compromised with this exploit, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code on the machine or launch a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability affects Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.8, but other version of the operating system may be vulnerable, too.

1. "In related news, Nomad559 cuts-n-pastes story unflattering to Apple™"
Oh, wait...that's not "News".

That's not news to ANYBODY.

My bad.

Nomad559 also posted a "negative" Security Advisory about Windows, but I don't see any Windows users having a :cry: about It.
