Vulnerabilitatile Apple afecteaza si PC-urile Doua brese de securitate in QuickTime si iTunes	By Adrian Stanciu, Sci-Tech News Editor 14th of March 2006, 17:14 GMT Adjust text size:


Compania de securitate eEye a avertizat despre doua bug-uri serioase depistate in softul media Apple, expunand unui risc atat sistemele Windows cat si Mac OS X. Acest raport urmeaza unui sir de avertizari de securitate care au aparut anul acesta si care tind sa contrazica perceptia ca software-ul Apple este relativ sigur. Saptamana trecuta, eEye a raportat doua puncte slabe care afecteaza QuickTime si iTunes, amandoua permitand atacatorilor sa execute cod pe sistemul vulnerabil. Ambele brese afecteaza Mac OS X cat si Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP si Windows 2003, si sunt evaluate ca "severitate ridicata". De la inceputul anului, utilizatorii de Mac au inceput sa guste din paranoia securitatii, care ii afecteaza de mult timp pe utilizatorii de Windows. In ultima perioada, in decurs de numai o saptamana, au aparut doi virusi care tintesc platforma OS X. Acestia au fost urmati in scurt timp de o dezvaluire publica asupra unui cod care exploateaza un bug sever ce permite browser-ului Safari sa execute automat coduri periculoase pe un sistem daca utilizatorul acceseaza un site special creat in acest scop. Acest bug afecteaza deasemenea si clientul de mail integrat al Mac OS X-lui. Producatorii de antivirusi (care au avut dificultati mult timp in a vinde produsele lor utilizatorilor de Mac) au afirmat ca noul interes al atacatorilor pentru Mac se datoreaza in mare masura trecerii la platforma Intel. Ken Dunham, director al diviziei de reactie rapida din cadrul iDefense, o subdivizie a companiei Versign, a subliniat faptul ca ultimul virus major pentru Macintosh a fost viermele Autostart, depistat in 1998.
