The bug should've been squashed in the latest update of OS X 10.10.3, but researchers say it persists. Every Mac is at risk from this "backdoor" bug. Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security/?tag=RootPipe

A Swedish researcher has unearthed a serious bug that affects the newest version of OS X - version 10.10, or Yosemite - and which could allow attackers to gain complete control of the target's Mac machine. Rootpipe is a privilege escalation from admin to root so switching to a non-admin account would clearly be a good thing," Kvarnhammar said.

Vous vous souvenez de Rootpipe ? Cette vulnérabilité avait été signalée en fin d’année 2014 par un chercheur suédois qui avait découvert un moyen d’élever ses privilèges au niveau root depuis une session utilisateur. Rootpipe était restée une énigme jusqu’alors : Apple avait en effet annoncé que corriger cette vulnérabilité prendrait du temps et Emil Kvarnammar, le chercheur à l’origine de cette découverte, avait accepté d’attendre un patch avant de donner plus de détails. Le correctif était annoncé pour le début de l'année 2015, mais il aura fallu attendre encore un peu, Apple invoquant d'importants changements nécessaires afin de rectifier le tir.

Details are finally emerging about a serious vulnerability in Apple's OS X Yosemite, called "Rootpipe" which allows root access by attackers. The privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered by Swedish hacker Emil Kvarnhammar, who has been asked by Apple to withhold details until January 2015 -- since Apple likely wouldn't allow details until they have a fix, this is probably when users can expect a patch. Rootpipe is a privilege escalation from admin to root so switching to a non-admin account would clearly be a good thing," Kvarnhammar said.
