Massive patch coming for DNS vulnerability

First instance of new DNS exploit reported

Network World reports that Apple's recent updates may still leave its servers vulnerable to Domain Name System threats. Experts say a patch released last week may not be enough to prevent a cache poisoning attack, which redirects traffic to a malicious domain name.

"The bottom line is that despite this update, it appears that the client libraries still aren't patched," experts quoted in the Network World story said.
