![]() ![]() As a user of both Mac and Linux, yea I kinda panicked (y? I have no idea). I hope Apple patches this vulnerability soon. Hickey has said that Apple has been informed of the issue but no patch was included in the most recent security update released earlier this week. Hickey’s findings have been independently verified by other security experts but have reportedly not yet been acted upon by Apple itself. He discovered that, with a few minor modifications, the CVE-2021-3156 vulnerability was effective on macOS devices. Now, British security researcher Matthew Hickey has noted that the most recent version of macOS contains the Sudo app. The security flaw, tracked as CVE-2021-3156, affects Sudo, an app used by administrators to grant root access to other users. A vulnerability found last week that was originally thought to only affect the Linux and BSD operating systems is now believed to impact macOS as well.
