Did you know that there were vulnerabilities in Mac OS X where by someone could actually get root access to you system?

Yeah, provided you could get your hands on the actual machine in question. ANY security expert would tell you that if you allow an unauthorized person to have physical access to your machine, you are by definition nonsecure.

No it was to do with an outsider getting a shell command on your system and running your computer as root. WAKE UP! Mac OS X has UNIX underneath!
