Glenn Fleishman sends word that SANS Institute testing indicates that,
even after installing [0]Apple’s latest patch for the DNS vulnerability,
[1]Leopard desktops (not servers) are still vulnerable — or at least
perpetuate risky behavior that makes exploitation easier. This matters
because “With servers rapidly being patched worldwide, it’s likely that
the low-hanging fruit disappears, and vectors [will be] designed to
attack massive numbers of clients on ISP networks.”
