Apple issues AirPort Extreme patch.
Apple has issued a fix for its wireless networking solution, AirPort Extreme, to complement a similar patch delivered earlier this year. The update, released Thursday, March 8, corrects a vulnerability involving an out_of_bounds memory read error that could occur when processing wireless frames. "An attacker in local proximity may be able to trigger a system crash by sending a maliciously crafted frame to an affected system," according to an Apple advisory. The flaw impacts the Core Duo version of Mac mini, MacBook and MacBook Prop computers that run on a wireless connection. Core 2 Duo versions are not affected.
