Windows 7 and Mac OS X both hit by fundamental flaws
Windows 7 and Mac OS X each have a new, fundamental flaw that will be presented at the Hack in the Box conference in Amsterdam in July. These security holes are so close to the core operating systems that fixing them may be very hard.
Windows 7 has an issue in the 64-bit edition of the operating system.
“The problem is related to the functioning of the motherboard, so it is quite irresolvable in software,” Hack in the Box conference organizer Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran told Webwereld. “This is quite a fundamental problem, because an attacker basically can manipulate the PC’s memory.”
