Metasploit founder HD Moore has released an exploit for an unpatched vulnerability in the Apple Airport driver that ships with some PowerBook and iMac computers. Moore said the exploit is not related to the Wi-Fi driver flaws discovered and discussed in Aug. 2006 by researchers David Maynor and Jon Ellch at the Black Hat Briefings. Moore, who is collaborating with Ellch on Wi-Fi flaw research, named the exploit after Daring Fireball, a Mac blogger who doubted the Black Hat findings and issued a public challenge to Ellch and Maynor.

"et's see OSX deal with Security when they expose OSX to the world via the PPC->Intel switch"
Just before you start frothing at the mouth too much, it appears to imply that this doesn't affect Intel models at all:
"Moore's exploit, available here, targets a remote memory corruption flaw that affects the Apple Airport driver provided with Orinoco-based Airport cards (1999-2003 PowerBooks and iMacs)."
