WiFi Driver Exploit Alert

November 17, 2006

I've recently had to update both my wife's laptop's Centrino-based WiFi driver stack and my own system's Broadcom-based software suite in response to recently-uncovered vulnerabilities (which, like Frank Hayes, I firmly believe fueled a closely-following Apple update….although the company won't come out and admit it, read between the lines of Cupertino's carefully-worded statement and decide for yourself). Had I not seen the blog discourses on the topic, I probably wouldn't be aware of the issue or its resolution. So….consider yourself heads-up'd….

Followup: Here's a detailed writeup on the Broadcom driver exploit and fix from ZDNet.
