Going back to RootPipe:

Emil Kvarnhammarhad discovered this privilege escalation vulnerability later last year in some versions of the OS X including the newest Yosemite. RootPipe vulnerability allows an attacker to take full command of your Mac computer without whatever authentication required!

This so-chosen RootPipe vulnerability enables an attacker with local access to a Mac to escalate their privileges to root. Which essentially means a complete command of the motorcar with no further authentication required! The White Chapeau hacker had shared the details to Apple tree which then claimed to patch the vulnerability.

Notwithstanding... Apple failed to ready RootPipe:

Patrick Wardlewho is now heading a security house and is a quondam NSA employee demonstrated the vulnerability in a video showing how the critical bug still stays in the newest version - Bone X Yosemite 10.10.3. The latest version, released earlier this month was supposed to fix RootPipe OS Ten backdoor which has resided on Mac computers since 2022!

We saw another security report today revealing that some ane,500 iOS apps are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Let's hope Apple gears up its security a notch college on both the iOS and OS X!
