Scary! Did chimps code OS X?
Let's take them one by one:
"Apple OS X 10.4.5 .tiff "LZWDecodeVector ()" Heap Overflow"
His own links says:
"Solution:
This issue was silently fixed by Apple in update 10.4.6.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303411";

IOW, fixed; a non-issue.
Actually you are incorrect. It is an issue to those who don't upgrade to
get the fix. Why that happened to Windows 2000 users a while back. However
the Mackooks didn't blame the people who didn't upgrade, they heaped the
entire blame on Windows itself.
When the original article states:
'From what I have been told, they "will be fixed in the next security
release".'
....it kind of destroys the author's credibility to present something
that's already been fixed, don't you think?
When are you guys going to give up on this malware hype that really
doesn't do much to a system? I mean if we listened to the nuts in here like
Jimmy Lee and Polaski, we would stupidly think that Windows XP is just plain
unusable. That is very far from the case.
I'm not hyping anything. I'm debunking.
