Apple logging passwords in plain text
Re: Really, the bug affects any network share
Finally, someone who understands the scale of this problem.
Sysadmins: Forget the comments about FileVault, HP, fanboi etc etc. - this is the worst, most careless bug Apple have ever released. If you care about domain password security then you need to make sure this version of the OS can't authenticate against your domain.
Re: well
This is not a "trivial bug indeed".
If you have Macs connected to your Active Directory domain then it's an appauling bug that exposes enterprise account passwords. Granted, the log file it's stored doesn't have world read permissions by default, but it still means that anyone who has local admin rights can harvest passwords from the organisation.
This incident should be getting more coverage and it serves as a reminder that Apple are a trinket company whose products should never be let near the enterprise.
