- McAfee's Sage Report
McAfee
has released the first issue of their Sage
Report. Included in the report is an article titled "Will
the Worm Eat the Apple" by Francois Paget of McAfee Avert
Labs. The article describes the history of OSX/Leap
and OSX/Inqtanta.
It also covers the recent "flurry" of Mac OS X /
Safari-specific vulnerabilities...and potential increase of
related threats on the horizon.
The
article definitely complements the previous white paper, also
issued by McAfee, entitled "The
New Apple of Malware's Eye: Is Mac OS X the Next Windows?".
However, there is no "scaremongering" here at all.
Rather it is a well-written article, which raised several
valid points about security on Mac OS X, and the open source
community's propensity for investigating security issues and
exploits.

- Microsoft PowerPoint 0-Day Vulnerability
While
there is still no 'official' ruling on whether Microsoft Office
for Mac is affected, the US
CERT is listing it as an affected version of the Office
software.
This
new vulnerability is being tracked as CVE-2006-3590.
According to the bulletins, "Microsoft PowerPoint contains
a vulnerability that could be exploited when PowerPoint opens
a specially crafted document. By convincing a user to open
a specially crafted PP document, an attacker could execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running PowerPoint.
This may also cause PowerPoint to crash."
