Musings from the mind of Marcus….

As I had mentioned in previous posts, November 2006 is the Month of Kernel Bugs. Well yesterday, true to form, they posted the first kernel bug, a nice one in Apple’s Airport Driver.  This particular bug, a kernel memory corruption issue, was found by none other than H D Moore which in turn is based upon some previous work by Cache and Maynor. 

Moore was nice enough to supply a handy-dandy Metasploit module  for the kernel bug as well.  Considerate that was!  An unpatched vulnerability disclosed complete with working exploit code……….

Oh and btw – it really is nice to see someone aside from Microsoft get targeted once and a while!
