“One tiny, ugly bug. Fifteen years. Full system compromise,” wrote one security researcher, starting a Twitter storm on the new year’s eve. Apple has had one tough year full of security disasters and it appears the company is greeting the new year with even more of security vulnerabilities. Unlike the macOS root vulnerability, the latest security flaw isn’t that severe but shows that Apple has been sloppy when it comes to software security.

A security researcher calling themselves “hobbyist hacker” released a zero day macOS vulnerability that they suggest is “at least” 15 years old. The unpatched flaw can enable an unprivileged user to take control of the system if they have physical access to the system to execute arbitrary code and get root permissions.
