Avoid a security vulnerability in Safari
Authored by: houplagrundle on Feb 22, '06 02:34:44PM
Renaming terminal stops it -

I added a letter to the name and then tested it out with the vulnerabilty test at http://secunia.com/mac_os_x_command_execution_vulnerability_test/

I can still open "safe" files automatically and not be vulnerable...

I renamed the Terminal.app, would it also be prudent to alter the permissons so that my regualr user account can't execute Terminal.app.
