More on the Mac OS X vulnerability
February 21st, 2006 by ktula
According to heise online, the earlier reported Safari vulnerability is actually more serious than initially known. Shell script, hidden as an image or a document by changing the metadata of the file so that it is opened by Terminal.app, can also be automatically executed in the Mail.app when clicked on.
On careful inspection of the file using Get Info, you can see the default application for the jpg file is Terminal.app.
