Kicking off a "month of kernel bugs," a security researcher has released attack code that he claims exploits a new security hole in wireless software from Apple Computer.
The vulnerability lies in the Apple AirPort driver, according to details on the flaw published by H.D. Moore, the developer of the Metasploit security tool. It affects only the AirPort driver provided with wireless cards shipped between 1999 and 2003 with PowerBooks and iMacs, the posting said.
