Apple bringt Security Update für OS X und sperrt DigiNotar Zertifikate

Nachdem beim Zertifikate Hersteller DigiNotar Hacker eindrangen hat Apple heute ein Security Update für OS X Lionm veröffentlicht welche die Root Zertifikate von DigiNotar sperrt:

Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7.1, Lion Server v10.7.1

Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may intercept user credentials or other sensitive information

Description: Fraudulent certificates were issued by multiple certificate authorities operated by DigiNotar. This issue is addressed by removing DigiNotar from the list of trusted root certificates, from the list of Extended Validation (EV) certificate authorities, and by configuring default system trust settings so that DigiNotar’s certificates, including those issued by other authorities, are not trusted.

Das Update wird via Softwareaktualisierung verteilt, kann aber auch manuell bei Apple geladen werden.
