This is a pretty simple flaw – direct execution of script. Any brief look at the design could’ve spotted that one. I wonder how many more complex vunrabilities will show up when the experts really dig into it? Hopefully apple will design system wide security features like address randomisation and the NX bit to eliminate lots of vunrabilities all at once.

Might want to point out that this is a local and not remote exploit.

Preston:

1) The company's name is Apple. The OS name is Mac OS X.

2) Who the hell in their right minds would claim a system is impenetrable? There will always be faults; only non-technical people would say such a thing -- and if you're referring to such people, then you're basically making fun of people for their technical illiteracy (== not good).

3) Not all Mac^H^H^HApple users are moronic. In fact, most of them know grammar.

4) The genitive of "it" is "its," not "it's."
