Apple patched some vulnerabilities in both iOS and OS X which a security company is now claiming could, if used in concert, have been used to exploit both operating systems. . . but that really is not true because the final step relies on a Heap Buffer Overflow which is actually a hardware locked out, protected non-executable memory area in both systems and cannot be used to execute code, regardless of an overflow or not. Since Apple has already fixed everyone of these vulnerabilities LAST WEEK, the way to avoid ever running into even the potential for a problem is to be running up-to-date versions of iOS 9.3.3 and OS X.11.6 El Capitan. Update now. Since this is not a problem, this article is mostly FUD. — PING!

Thank you for the notice and the wise counsel.

Right on analysis.

That said, it’s depressing how many otherwise intelligent people don’t stay up to date with patch releases.

(I won’t even start on the folks still running WinXP...) :-)
