kishimi8: as for osx this vulnerability affects only those using xserver or anyone that enables remote logins or remote management on his mac.
if u use your system like an everyday joe aint nothing to be scared of..
Thats true

some devils are already exploiting this bug as we speak now. any new patches could only be as good as the moment as server owners need to be on the look out for more updates releases. there are only few linux techists on nairaland. @bigrovar is one tho. i know him

DonaldGenes: Microsoft OS is not always secured, do you know I can remotely shut down your system if I know your IP address?

Have you seen that simple CMD promt code before?
C:\shutdown /i
You know you require elevated privileges to run that remotely right?

Billyonaire: The Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been on for a while now and has been used to bypass access controls to inject malicious scripts to servers. The malicious scripts can be used to do a lot of harm to the server even for use of botnets etc.

Solution is to scan your server for the vul and patch the shit. That's it.
XSS is another topic entirely, its not in anyway related to remote hacking.
