In recent history, Apple has only patched operating system vulnerabilities for the current and two previous versions of OS X.

However, some Macs are still limited to Lion (version 10.7.5), which is evidently no longer getting security patches now that Yosemite has been released the lack of a Lion version of the recent Security Update 2014-005 is a harbinger of things (not) to come.

This means that if your Mac was compatible with Mavericks or even its predecessor Mountain Lion, you’ll be able to upgrade to Yosemite. Like last year with the release of Mavericks, Apple chose to continue supporting all the same Macs as the previous release of the operating system. Hackers exploited a pair of potent zero-day vulnerabilities in Firefox to infect Mac users with a largely undetected backdoor, according to accounts pieced together from multiple people.Apple recently released a new version of its Mac operating system, OS X Yosemite (version 10.10). Mozilla released an update on Tuesday that fixed a code-execution vulnerability in a JavaScript programming method known as Array.pop. #Macos malware years runonly avoid five update

On Thursday, Mozilla issued a second patch fixing a privilege-escalation flaw that allowed code to break out of a security sandbox that Firefox uses to prevent untrusted content from interacting with sensitive parts of a computer operating system. #Macos malware years runonly avoid five Patch Interestingly, a researcher at Google's Project Zero had privately reported the code-execution flaw to Mozilla in mid April. On Monday, as Mozilla was readying a fix for the array.pop flaw, unknown hackers deployed an attack that combined working exploits for both vulnerabilities. The hackers then used the attack against employees of Coinbase, according to Philip Martin, chief information security officer for the digital currency exchange.Ģ/ We walked back the entire attack, recovered and reported the 0-day to firefox, pulled apart the malware and infra used in the attack and are working with various orgs to continue burning down attacker infrastructure and digging into the attacker involved.

"We've seen no evidence of exploitation targeting customers," Martin added. "We were not the only crypto org targeted in this campaign. We are working to notify other orgs we believe were also targeted." Martin also published cryptographic hashes of code used in the attack, along with IP addresses the code contacted. On Thursday, macOS security expert Patrick Wardle published an analysis of Mac malware that came from someone who claimed it infected his fully up-to-date Mac through a zero-day vulnerability in Firefox. The person claimed to have been "involved with a cryptocurrency exchange until fairly recently." The hash of the malware matched one of the hashes provided by Martin. AdvertisementĪmong the things Wardle noticed early on was that the VirusTotal service showed that the malware was detected by only one of what at the time was 53 available malware detectors (at the time this Ars post went live, five out of 57 engines flagged it).

That was strange, because XProtect, the barebones malware detector built into macOS, had been detecting the NetWire sample since 2016.
