as Apple continues to boast about its ability invulnerable system not being affected by viruses, a position they have long touted its Windows rivals, he announced he patched two serious bugs in his system operating before the next major update. The vulnerabilities, called dyld Thunderstrike and 2 were found in the Apple operating system, which compromised the user that uses Apples latest operating system; Yosemite. The Thunderstrike 2 bug that was discovered a few weeks ago, allowed hackers to attack systems with a malicious Web page, causing the computer's firmware to be crushed. The other problem is dyld, probably much more important and more dangerous. which allows a program to run as administrator without requiring the user to enter their password. With Apple to fix major bug in OS X, the user will be able to relax once more.
Apple recently released an updated beta of the next major update, OS X 10.10.5, and security experts have revealed that the patch for dyld are not included in the beta patch, what is worrying a lot like Apple could be retained until the next iteration of its OS X, El Capitan, due to release worldwide in the fall of this year. Apple have since announced that they intend to solve the problem as soon as possible. Regarding the glitch Thunderstrike, allowed attackers to create a "worm" that can be transferred between devices without the user having to do anything. By manipulating the Thunderbolt port, it can be transferred by means of a device which is connected and then spread to the place where the apparatus is used. But security experts downplayed the severity of the bug Thunderstrike because of the small number of those who actually use the Thunderbolt port.
The difference between the two is that Thunderstrike seed is relatively harmless compared to dyld as worm that can spread through a very specific way, or a bug that lives and transmits through web pages, which are unfortunately open to all. Meanwhile, Apple has prepared a little stop-gap solution to the problem by preventing any developer to release something if they are using the vulnerability. Until the fix was implemented, at least the majority of users are protected to some extent.
