Apple OS X Parsing vulnerability

[Xircal]

This is another Google Project Zero discovery whereby Apple was privately informed of the vulnerability on October 20 last year, but has failed to address the issue.

In keeping with its policy, Google made the vulnerability which allows a local user to bypass the sandbox public. Details here: http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1031624

Two other vulnerabilities for which no fix is yet available either are these:

1. Apple OS X Memory Corruption Flaw in IOKit IOBluetoothDevice Lets Local Users Gain Elevated Privileges
2. Apple OS X Null Pointer Dereference in IOKit IntelAccelerator Lets Local Users Gain Elevated Privileges

Look at the top of the Internet, computers, etc. page and you'll see the Apple forum.
