Mac OS X Bluetooth (Proof of Concept) Worm

When it rains it pours for you Macheads. F-secure received a sample virus, Inqtana.A, that spreads via the Bluetooth OBEX Push vulnerability described here: http://www.osvdb.org/displayvuln.php?osvdb_id=16074. The exploit is not in the wild and will expire on February 24, 2006 but to be safe from this threat now and in the future you are advised to install the latest patches for your OS X version 10.4 ASAP.
