There is a warning out about a potentially very serious security 
vulnerability in OS X.  The vulnerability would allow a Trojan Horse to 
gain root access without the need for user authentication.

The good news is that the vulnerability is easily patched.

The bad news is that Apple doesn't feel that it is a problem that they 
have to deal with.
