Month of Apple Bugs - First Bug Unveiled

ens0niq writes "The first bug (a Quicktime rtsp URL Handler Stack-based Buffer Overflow) of the Month of Apple Bugs has been unveiled — as previously promised — by LMH and Kevin Finisterre. From the FAQ: 'This initiative aims to serve as an effort to improve Mac OS X, uncovering and finding security flaws in different Apple software and third-party applications designed for this operating system. A positive side-effect, probably, will be a more concerned (security-wise) user-base and better practices from the management side of Apple.'"

No problem!

This isn't a problem because it has been proven that only Windows can get viruses. Therefore, because it's not possible for viruses to spread with MacOS, security threats are irrelevant.

Please, try the veal.

He would, but they were all absorbed by Steve Jobs and his reality distortion field. Sorry.

Q: What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? A: Finding a bug in your MAC.

As such, we're still puttering around somewhere between the middle and end of the nineteenth.

Computer security was much better in the nineteenth Century, when computers didn't exist.

Re:QuickTime runs on Windows too...

What's wrong with all the haters? No balls to show who they really are so they hide behind the AC moniker. Pussy!

Unless this is sarcasm... does anybody else see the irony here?
