Security holes in an operating system???

Sheesh, I nearly died from non-shock...

But it's interesting to note that some of these were inherited from an older version of NetBSD.

The version tested was 10.3.4. I wouldn't be surprised if some or all of this has been patched already.

I doubt it's fixed already since Apple wasn't informed about the bugs.

The company originally found the flaws in June and published them to a private list of customers but did not notify Apple.
