Computerworld - Apple yesterday patched 36 vulnerabilities in Mac OS X, most of them critical, plugging a hole that revealed passwords used to encrypt folders with an older version of FileVault. Both Mac OS X 10.7, aka Lion, and 10.6, better known as Snow Leopard, were updated with fixes.
The two operating systems were last updated in February.

With the latest Lion security update, Mac OS X 10.7.3, Apple has accidentally turned on a debug log file outside of the encrypted area hat stores the user’s password in clear text!
===> 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. <===

More than 90% of user-generated passwords can be made vulnerable to hacking in a matter of seconds, according to new research from Deloitte.
The problem, researchers said, is that everything that we thought to be true must be reconsidered given advances in technology.
"Passwords containing at least eight characters, one number, mixed-case letters and non-alphanumeric symbols were once believed to be robust,” said Duncan Stewart, a director of research for the report. “But these can be easily cracked with the emergence of advance hardware and software.”
For instance, a machine running readily available virtualization software and high-powered graphics processing units can crack any eight-character password in about five hours, he noted.

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. <===
