iPhone Bug Allows Deleted Email To Be Retrieved With Simple Search
  • Posted on August 17th 2009 at 7:58pm by Jewelzz

Looks like another iPhone issue, this time with deleted email.

“Obviously this is could be a major security issue if you think you deleted something from your iPod but it’s not really deleted,” says Janssen. “You can still search through messages that are deleted. And this isn’t messages that are just recent. I found some messages that are over three or four months old.”

Mac OS X Security Update 2009-004
  • Posted on August 14th 2009 at 1:35pm by Dark Atheist

  • BIND
    CVE-ID: CVE-2009-0696
    Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5.8, Mac OS X Server v10.5.8
    Impact: A remote attacker may be able to cause the DNS server to unexpectedly terminate
    Description: A logic issue in the handling of dynamic DNS update messages may cause an assertion to be triggered. By sending a maliciously crafted update message to the BIND DNS server, a remote attacker may be able to interrupt the BIND service. The issue affects servers which are masters for one or more zones, regardless of whether they accept updates. BIND is included with Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server but it is not enabled by default. This update addresses the issue by properly rejecting messages with a record of type 'ANY' where an assertion would previously have been raised.

SpeedFan 4.39
  • Posted on August 9th 2009 at 5:34pm by American Zombie

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise.
Supports 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003 - 32 and 64 bit XP, Vista and Windows 7

Changes in 4.39
- added full support for Fintek F71889F, even at unusual addresses
- added support for a new method to access SMART data
- added support for SCSI and SAT hard disk SMART access
- added full support for SuperMicro PWS-865-PQ PSU
- added full support for Winbond W83795G
- added full support for SMSC EMC1402
- added SHORT and EXTENDED OFF-LINE SMART TEST in SMART tab. This feature works on a number of supported interfaces and not on all of them
- added voltage readings for Winbond W83793G
- properly read Tjmax on Core i7 based Xeons
- relabeled IT8512F to IT8512E
- the tray hint is no longer updated if ShowStaticIcon is true
- the tray icon tooltip layout is now vertical
- added Fintek F72569DG detection

Now I know on most modern motherboards you can adjust fan speeds in the Bios but most are just a choice of setting (An example of this is some Asus boards just have a choice of performance, optimal or silent) whereas SpeedFan can be set to exact temperatures to speed up or slow down the fans.

You can also choose which fans speed up or slow down at different temperatures. SpeedFan can also speed up or slow down fans based on hard drive or video card temps which is unlike most Bios fan setting which normally just have choices for ambient temp and CPU.
