Unpatched Mac flaws may put users at risk

Apple Computer is investigating several unpatched and potentially serious security flaws in Mac OS X that have been publicly disclosed, the company said Friday.

Tom Ferris, a security researcher in Mission Viejo, Calif., published late on Thursday information on seven flaws in Apple's operating system that potentially put Mac users at risk of a cyberattack. The most serious of the flaws could let attackers surreptitiously run malicious code on users' PCs, Ferris said in an interview via instant messaging.
