[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 551885, member: 24160"] Yep, that's a bogus list. All you have to do is look at the very first vulnerability listed under the Apple side. It is a Flash vulnerability. Not an OS vulnerability. It is also a vulnerability under almost every OS including XP, as you'll note there is even a link there to MS's technet. But he does not have it listed under the MS side of his list at all. Not only that, but he lists it in December, but when you go to the OS X link, you'll find it is from May of 2006. The 2nd item is a Linux based packet catcher and dumper application. And well, since it is unix based, it could be compiled on a Mac. Highly unlikely more than a very few, if any, have this little app on an install of OS X though. Selected multiple links on the Apple side in the month of December. Everyone of them I clicked on besides the first one applied to particular distibutions of Linux. Not a single mention of OS X anywhere. However, they could be compiled and installed in OS X, so he feels this is OK? He's full of xxxx. What's up with all that. One look - first item is a bug on both sides, but only listed on one? - all I need to see - thank you very much. [/QUOTE]
