OK,name one Mac virus. Real world case, not something where stupid deliberate steps must be taken both in enabling and exploiting.

You guys still pounding this?

Typical Apple Worshipers — can’t take a joke (or admit a vulnerability).

>>Apple has already released the patch.<<

APPLE HAD TO RELEASE SOME SORT OF (insert generic vulnerability definition here — I don’t want to be checkmated by terms that are incidental to the discussion) PATCH??? *swoon*

Wake me up when the world makes sense!

Apple released the Bash patch, and it's the correct (i.e. final) one, clean with no warnings/errors.

Apple patches shell shock bash bug in OSX

These are the individual pages on Apple's upport site:

– OS X Lion
– OS X Mountain Lion
– OS X Mavericks

Takes about a minute to find and download, and about a minute to install and check.

Thanks to Freeper Dayglored for the heads up!

Simple answer: no.
