Mac vulnerabilities do exist
The net has been abuzz with talk about the ARDAgent ’setuid root’ problem on Mac OS X. While I think I’m a pretty good judge of character when it comes to an application I’m installing, I think I’ll opt for the safe solution for now and disable the remote application. I’ve never used it, so being safe is an easy win for me. If you use a Mac and are worried, simply execute the following in terminal:
sudo chmod -R u-s /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app
