Have a look at the linked documents that detail the actual flaws . And then compare them to Windows flaws .

Note: Whenever it mentions something about arbitrary code execution, it mean that the code is executed with the priviledges of the logged-in user - usually not root/admin . At most, this would crash the app being attacked, and not much more .

391079 2005-09-26 21:21:00 God I'm a Mac, Linux and Windows user - all three in a professional capacity .

I'm no zealot for any of them, but even I can see you're just another brainwashed Microtard trying to stir up flames .

Anyone can see that I simply posted an awareness link to some patches considered vital by Macintosh, just as many people do when they become aware of important security info for any popular pieces of software or operating systems.

Sure I added a snide question in the heading, but the obvious inference of my post blatantly went well through your head.

391083 2005-09-26 23:19:00 Come on Greg, There systems are under-powered over-priced with no upgrade path, suported by limited software and they are under the delusion that if they like a layout that makes it the worlds best.

We might as well let them have the better security points, They don't have anything else.
