One of the great things about playing with pre-release software is you come across these little things that make you giggle and you know will make others you know giggle if they could see it with the proper context, and of course one of the annoying things is you're not allowed to tell...

Around a week ago the following at the Internet Storm Center popped up in my feeds...
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple Mac OS X and applications. Proof of Concept code has already been posted along with the information regarding the vulnerabilities. At this time no patches or workarounds appear to be available for the majority of the vulnerabilities. The impact is Denial of Service or arbitrary code executed remotely, and severity is highly critical.
I set a reminder to write some notes about it if it hadn't really permeated the "Mac Web" after a week -- or whatever the hell pandering placebo passes for the majority of it at this point (it's probably food for thought that the majority people reading will be seeing them first the first time on some site named DrunkenBlog sporadically updated by some guy named drunkenbatman... and no offense to myself, but that's probably as big a canary as the following issues) -- so it's worth running through these while the coffee brews as, ya know, they're kinda important...
