The other day I told you that Thunderstrike 2 is the most dangerous malware for the Mac ever discovered, the security researchers who discovered it stating that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), she refuses to block him even though she is aware of his existence.
Well it seems that these accusations brought to the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), had the effect of a change of attitude on the part of the Americans, the American company claiming that it is preparing in OS X 10.10.5 changes that should solve this vulnerability, but also other more important ones.
More precisely, Apple will block in OS X 10.10.5 vulnerability known as DYLD, this allows an infected program to obtain administrator rights in the Mac and to access any kind of data that it can send to any hackers who want to steal data from our computers.
If Thunderstrike 2 the Apple company solved part of the vulnerability in OS X 10.10.4, and OS X 10.10.5 is going to solve the second one, but this is not as dangerous as DYLD because it is based on the Thunderbolt used by a limited number of people.
The tech company will patch a serious "privilege escalation" bug in the next security update to its desktop operating system, Mac OS X 10.10.5. The initial beta of the next update to the Mac operating system did not include a fix for the bug, known as DYLD, leading to concerns that it would not be fixed until the Autumn when the next major OS release, El Capitan, is planned.
Macs are considered by many to be extremely secure because the OS X operating system is very difficult to crack or exploit, so Apple is forced to constantly update its operating system to maintain users' trust in it.
In this case, the update that fixes the security problems comes more difficult than initially thought, but the Apple company will not leave its users unprotected, although they have to wait until OS X 10.10.5 is released.
