Comment Re:So it an Apple Bug or a 3rd party bug? (Score 1) 288
I'm starting to think that problem may not be Apple at all....
From Krebster's interview of Maynor
BK: But you're saying in addition to this you've found multiple problems? You're saying that in addition to this flaw [present in the Macbook drivers] there were three others that you've been able to find?
Maynor: Right.
BK: And, so I'm clear: Two of [these] were Windows-based, one Linux-based, and one of those Windows exploits is actually in a third-party external wireless card designed for Windows?
What Mac users want to know if the exploit is for the built in airport. Maynor/Ellch have said it's only for a 3rd party card, which affects maybe in one in a 100,000 mac users (intel mac with atheros chipsets that have a particular third party USB card attached). But they can't say anything until they fix these three other flaws, which could really take a while....
As they said, there's no such thing as bad publicity....
