Cirital Flaw Discovered in OSX

A critical flaw has been discovered in Mac OS X, that could be exploited remotely by an attacker to gain control over the user’s computer.

This flaw was discovered by a security researcher, who goes by the name of “LMH”.

“Danish vulnerability clearinghouse Secunia rated the flaw highly critical because it can be remotely exploited by an attacker in the Safari Web browser when the “opening safe files after downloading” option is enabled, Secunia said in its advisory.”?

Although this has no effect on Microsoft Windows users, Mac OS X and Windows users should be very careful about what they download, who they trust, and where they go on the internet.
