Secunia said there are potential vulnerabilities in the Mac OS X operating system, first noticed by Tom Ferris.

The firm described the holes as ‘highly critical’, meaning that systems could be compromised if crooks dive in. Secunia said the potential holes are in version 10.4.6, but other versions might be
affected too.

As an aside, the updated security details for the three main OS are:
