Although Apple patched the "Rootpipe" vulnerability with the update to OS X10.3, an ex-NSA expert has found another "Rootpipe" vulnerability in OS X.10.3 . . . The Register falsely claims it is the same vulnerability that Apple closed in the update. Meanwhile, this is a local vulnerability, allowing an untrusted user to escalate privileges to Admin. — PING!

I downloaded the patch last Friday, and it BORKED my Admin account, and couldn’t reboot. Was perfect before. Had to return it to Buy Best and have the Geek squad restore my computer. I wonder what the hell happened, now I wonder if this was any part of it.
No biggie, just a hundred miles each direction, twice. I’ve got nutting’ but time to waste.

Wow... This is the really bad part of the article. “Apple has refused to address the vulnerability in older versions of OS X, such as version 10.9.x.”
Come on Apple fix your crap!

Rootpipe attack sounds like something the current CEO might actually enjoy!
