Descriptions

Apple Mac OS X does not properly verify the authenticity of updates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse update, as demonstrated by evilgrade and DNS cache poisoning.

Apple Mac OS X no verifica adecuadamente la autenticidad de las actualizaciones, lo cual permite a atacantes de tipo 'hombre en el medio' (man-in-the-middle) ejecutar código de su elección a través de la actualización de un Caballo de Troya, como se demuestra por el grado de daño y el envenenamiento de la caché DNS.
