Weblog:   New (local) Mac OS X vulnerability : Passwords in Swap files
Subject:   Not a problem here

Response to: Of course...

My system has been up and running for weeks (I can't imagine that everything has not been swapped out at one time or another). And there are a couple of entries that show up but none has my password.


What was the source of UserName and password that you saw? Was it a logon to an AFP share? Some web site name/password? or your initial log on? I know there are times when servers will not accept encrypted passwords that OS X will send them in the clear? Maybe that is your case?


Give us more info, so we can figure out what, if anything, is vulnerable?
