It seems Apple sneaked out a fix yesterday for several vulnerabilities within the Airport Drivers in OSX. It appears there are three vulnerabilities two affect Intel based Apple systems and one affects PowerPC based systems. The next issue again, an attacker can send a specially crafted frames that cause a heap overflow in the wireless driver. This too can allow for arbitrary code execution on the targeted system with system privileges. This issue only affects Intel based Mac systems. Finally the third issue, again a specially crafted frame sent over the wireless network can cause an integer overflow in the wireless driver's API for 3rd party applications and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a denial of service. The issue affects Intel based Mac systems with Wireless capabilities.
