KitGuru Says: Due to all of the potential dangers of the Bash Bug, companies have been swift to provide fixes and upgrade security, as a result, we hopefully won't see any wide-spread attacks due to this exploit, it seems to have been contained pretty fast. But an iMac isn't intended to be a gaming machine. However, we don't know how effective a Bash Bug patch can be, some security experts have claimed that a patch is only a temporary solution according to The Verge. The huge advantages that an iMac has over a PC 'rig' is that unbelievable 5k screen plus the high physical quality control and smooth operating system. We are working to quickly provide a software update for our advanced Unix users.”Īpple doesn't state which advanced Unix services could affect OS X but a fix should be coming soon. With OS X, systems are safe by default and not exposed to remote exploits of bash unless users configure advanced Unix services. The next thing you’ll want to do is set up Boot Camp on Mac. With the other tips below, though, it should be a strong enough foundation to carry you through most average PC games. “ The vast majority of OS X users are not at risk to recently reported Bash vulnerabilities. Bash, a Unix command shell and language included in OS X, has a weakness that could allow unauthorized users to remotely gain control of vulnerable systems. On their own, these Macs will give you enough power to play simple, low-power games. Speaking to iMore, an Apple spokesperson gave the following statement: Regular OS X users don't need to worry about Bash unless users “configure advanced Unix services”. However, the company also states that Macs are “safe by default” from the exploit, which uses a single line of code to infect Bourne Again Shell (Bash), after which, hackers can run whatever malicious code they like on a Unix based system. Ever since the Bash bug became public knowledge, companies have been scrambling to patch it up, plenty of Linux distros already have fixes and now Apple has promised to get a fix out for OS X soon.
