===> Anyone who used FileVault encryption on their Mac prior to Lion, upgraded to Lion, but kept the folders encrypted using the legacy version of FileVault is vulnerable. FileVault 2 (whole disk encryption) is unaffected. <===

OS X Lion : une faille de sécurité met les mots de passe à nu dans FileVault

OS X Lion : une faille de sécurité met les mots de passe à nu dans FileVault | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

La mise à jour 10.7.3 de Mac OS X Lion publiée la semaine dernière n'a pas fait que corriger des bugs : elle en a également fait apparaître un dans le module de chiffrage de l'OS, FileVault. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

===> La solution pour pallier le problème est donc d'opter pour FileVault 2 et de procéder à un chiffrement du disque dur, en attendant qu'Apple propose un correctif officiel pour cette faille. <===
