Probleme de securitate APFS Encrypted si Keychain Access, rezolvate cu macOS High Sierra 10.13 Supplemental Update

Apple a publicat recent un update suplimentar (Supplemental Update) foarte important pentru toti utilizatorii de Mac, care au instalat macOS High Sierra 10.13.

I macOS High Sierra 10.13 Supplemental Update lösa några driftstörningar för Adobe InDesign och en bugg som tillät inte stergerea mesajelor primite in aplicatia Mail de pe conturi de Yahoo!.

Den allvarligaste delen av uppdateringen ytterligare är relaterad till två säkerhetsproblem, ce au venit “la pachet” cu noul sistem de operare High Sierra.

Vulnerabilitate parola criptare pentru APFS (Encrypted) – Disk Utility Bug

En bugg i programmet Skivverktyg Det gör synliga lösenord för volymer på diskar formaterade APFS krypterad.
Pe scurt, atunci cand introducem parola de criptate pentru un volum, aceasta este ceruta de doua ori, pentru a fi siguri ca nu am tastat-o gresit prima data. Apoi avem sa ne alegem un “Tips” (un cuvant sau o fraza) ca indiciu pentru parola. Bug-ul din Skivverktyg, face ca parola sa fie vizibila in locul cuvantului sau frazei de la “hint”. In acest fel, este expusa oricarei persoane care are acces la Mac.
In video postat pe Twitter se vede exact cum se poate afla parola unui volum criptat APFS, cu ajutorul Disk Utility.

Would be interesting why Apple recommends erasing when diskutil can clear hints:
