MoAB: AppleTalk Bug! The Sky Is Falling

MOAB-14-01-2007: AppleTalk ATPsndrsp() Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The Month of Apple Bugs project has just announced an AppleTalk bug! This is much more a ‘real’ Apple issue than cross-platform VLC issues, but who cares about AppleTalk bugs? What proportion of people/Macs have AppleTalk running on their systems — 1%? More importantly, ISPs don’t carry AppleTalk traffic, so this is really only a concern for Local Area Networks (particularly colleges).

I am impressed they found it, though.
