Amakhompyutha we-Mac ahlala ecabanga ukuthi, okungenani abasebenzisi bawo, ukuthi abe njalo igomela amagciwane, i-malware, i-spyaware nezinye izindlela zokuthelela imishini yekhompyutha. Lokhu akunjalo, njengoba ukuphela kwesizathu abaduni beqonde iWindows kune-OS X / macOS kungenxa yesabelo sayo semakethe yomhlaba wonke.
Eqinisweni, eminyakeni yamuva nje, kuya ngokuya kujwayelekile ukubona ukuthi kanjani IMacOS ithintwa yilolu hlobo lwesoftware, Ofuna ukubamba idatha yethu, alandele umsebenzi wethu noma abethele okuqukethwe yikhompyutha yethu yonke ngokushintshana ngesihlengo (ransomware). Ekhuluma ngezokuphepha kanye ne-macOS, iqembu labaduni labamba ukuxhashazwa kwezinsuku ezimbili zero ku-Safari Zero Day Initiative ebibanjelwe eVancouver.
Ukuxhashazwa kwezinsuku ezingama-zero yilabo abebekhona ohlelweni kusuka enguqulweni yayo yokugcina, ngaphandle konjiniyela enolwazi lwayo nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Kokubili ukuxhaphaza kungasetshenziselwa ukukhulisa amalungelo kuma-macOS aze athole ukulawula okugcwele.
Ukuxhaphaza kokuqala ake sifinyelele ku-sandbox, ukuvikelwa okusetshenziswa yi-macOS ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinhlelo zokusebenza zinokufinyelela kuphela kudatha yazo noma kunoma iyiphi idatha yohlelo evunyelwa i-Apple. Ngalokhu kuxhaphaza ungafinyelela noma yiluphi ulwazi esilugcine kukhompyutha yethu ngesiphequluli seSafari. Lokhu kuxhaphaza kutholwe ngu-Amat Cama noRichard Zhu abathole intengo yamadola angama-55.000.
Ukusizakala kwesibili kuyingozi enkulu kakhulu, ngoba kuyakuvumela thola ukufinyelela kwezimpande ne-kernel kusuka ku-Mac, ukuvumela ukuthi ulawule ngokugcwele iqembu. Lokhu kuxhaphaza kwesibili kutholwe ngu @_niklasb @qwertyoruiopz kanye @bkth_ abakwaze ukuthola ama- $ 45.000 ngayo.
I-Safari njalo kube ngenye yezindawo zokufinyelela ezinkulu kubaduni. Ngonyaka odlule, ngesikhathi somncintiswano obuseVancouver lapho kutholakala khona lezi zenzo ezimbili ezintsha, abanye abaduni bathola okunye ukuxhashazwa okubavumele ukuthi baphathe iTouch Bar eMacBook Pro, lena okuyiyona ebifuna kakhulu ukunakwa kwamanye ama-3 nawo atholakele kusiphequluli se-Apple.
Lo mcimbi, obuxhaswe yiTrend Micro futhi obizwa ngeZero Day Initiave (ZDI), wenziwa ngo khuthaza abaduni ukubika ubuthakathaka ukuthi bavamise ukuthola esikhundleni sokuzithengisela abantu besithathu, yize kuyindlela engcono yokuthola imali eningi kakhulu kunale miklomelo, inani layo elinyukayo minyaka yonke.
