Mac Developer: New privilege escalation exploit discovered in OS X Yosemite, also affects just-released 10.10.5
New privilege escalation exploit discovered in OS X Yosemite, also affects just-released 10.10.5: "The exploit was discovered by Italian developer Luca Todesco, who relies on a combination of attacks — including a null pointer dereference in OS X's IOKit — to drop a proof-of-concept payload into a root shell. It affects every version of OS X Yosemite"
Almost as if someone wants them to find the vulnerabilities. I mean, OSX is hardly a target for hackers. So many bigger fish to fry.
