OK...ready?
I read a few lines and did not see anything dangerous here.
Sorry but I don't use wi-fi and I have a new system a MacBook
fairly newish. The first few lines seemed to indicate it was for
older tech and concerned Wi-fi.

Now as I've stated before I never claimed OSX nor Apple was
perfect so when these things pop up on occasion they don't
throw me into a tissy. First thing I check is am I in any danger?
If not I loose a lot of interest...heh heh heh. Now even "IF" there
is a vulnerability (something since I never assumed OSX was
perfect I always assumed there were) My "REAL" concern is...is
there anything that takes advantage of said vulnerability? If so
how much harm can it do?

Also if there is no malicious codes out there to take advantage
of a given vulnerability then "Where's the beef!?!"

What has always concerned me about Windows was never so
much that it is vulnerable but that there are what over 100.000
pieces of malware.
