 Subrosasoft's MacForensicLabs has published a white paper outlining security flaws in Apple's OS X Leopard (10.5.2) operating system. The magic triangle of flaws could lead to a serious security issue for any Mac user. The combination of address book availablity, Application's folders permissions & the bundled application architecture are ripe pickings for would be malicious code.
MacForensicLabs' white paper is based on their own reserach and findings with Leopard by their research and development teams. It is published to start discussion on the topic of malicious code for the Mac. They also cover some suggestions for locking down these flaws, but it looks like it is something that Cupertino would have to do more than an end user.
