I like to hear from hackers who are breaking things for either fun or profit and researchers whove uncovered nasty things on the web.

Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Tens of millions of Apple Mac users are going to have permanent backdoors on their PCs, thanks to the tech titans policy on patching older systems.

The company wont eliminate the so-called Rootpipe vulnerability TrueSec security researcher Emil Kvarnhammar found back in October last year in any Mac OS X version below 10.10, also known as Yosemite.

Anyone who hasnt upgraded to 10.10.3 should do so now, Kvarnhammar recommended in a blog post today.

NetMarketShare data indicates around 1.6 per cent of all operating systems currently in use are Mac OS X 10.9.

Another 1.5 per cent use OS X versions 10.5678.

Taking a less conservative 3 per cent from 3 billion gives us 90 million vulnerable PCs, though that does seem a little extreme.

However crude the maths here, its clear Apple has left a significant number of users open to attack.

It was discovered in October, though it has been resident in Mac OS X since 2011, when version 10.7 was released.

As Kvarnhammar told it back then, Apple asked him not to speak about the issue until January, when it believed it would have a patch ready.

Four months into 2015, a patch lands, but it leaves millions of users unprotected.

And Apple knows how serious this bug is, noting in its release an attacker could gain admin privileges without properly authenticating.

In other words, it could, when chained with other attacks, such as one recently detailed by ex-NSA staffer and Synack head of research Patrick Wardle, lead to total compromise of a typical users Mac.

Root access, which provides control over a system, could be acquired following a prior attack that granted the hacker the ability to execute code on the target machine from afar.

Apple had not effectively segregated portions of the operating system, making the interface for administrator control on Mac OS X accessible from any other process going on inside the operating system.

Its unclear what Apple was thinking in adding this feature - just because something is undocumented doesnt mean security researchers arent going to figure it out and abuse it for malicious purposes.

Yet some issues have been deemed worthy of updates across Mac OS X versions.

A slew of bugs found by Googles Ian Beer, from the the Project Zero team, will be squashed in Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.5, and OS X Yosemite v10.10 to v10.10.2.

Googles Project Zero and others are continually reporting a ton of kernel bugs, which to me illustrates the quality, or lack thereof, of XNU Apples computer operating system kernel code.

Im guessing it wouldnt be hard for a motivated attacker to find other privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

Users should upgrade to the latest OS where feasible, not just to get the sweet new emojis, but for urgent security reasons too.
