A 'zero-day' bug discovered in the latest version of Mac OS X has been exploited by real-world malware before Apple has been able to release a patch.

The problem, revealed in public last month by security researcher Stefan Esser, relates to features designed to log errors introduced in OS X 10.10. The code lacks safeguards that would prevent hackers being able to create files with destructively wide-ranging privileges, anywhere in the OS. If exploited, the flaw known as 'DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE' would give hackers the ability to install anything on an OS X system without using a password, opening up seemingly endless types of potential fraud.

• Update: As noted by several readers, some discontinued software including Logic Pro 9 and older versions of OS X Server remain unavailable for re-download from the Purchased tab. Thanks, Matthew.
• CVE-2015-5119: Use-after-free vulnerability in the ByteArray class in the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player 13.x through 13.0.0.296 and 14.x through 18.0.0.194 on Windows and OS X and 11.x through 11.2.202.468 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted Flash content that overrides a valueOf.

The Witcher is a series of fantasy action role-playing games developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The series began in 2007 with the release of The Witcher with the most recent being 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.As of 2020, the series has three main standalone games, two expansion packs.

At the time it was released, the exploit was purely hypothetical. Not any more: Malwarebytes reports the flaw has already been exploited for real.

In a blog post Malwarebytes' Adam Thomas claims to have discovered a malicious installer that was able to install VSearch and MacKeeper junk programs without needing a password. 'This is obviously very bad news,' he writes. 'Unfortunately, Apple has not yet fixed this problem, and now it is beginning to bear fruit.'

The hope among researchers was that Apple would be able to fix the bug before the hackers used it. Esser even released his own kernel extension to protect against the attacks, though installing that comes with obvious risks.

Esser incurred criticism for releasing the news, because reports suggest he did not tell Apple before making the release public, as is standard amongst security researchers. Esser has rejected the criticism, saying that Apple should be blamed, not himself for simply releasing news of the bug.

As it turns out, Apple knew about the flaw already -- another researcher had clued them in and not made it public -- and the exploit does not work in beta versions of OS X 10.11, suggesting a fix is on the way for other versions of 10.10. As of now, though, any OS X user remains vulnerable. 'Worse, there is no good way to protect yourself, short of installing Esser's software to protect against the very flaw that he released into the hands of hackers worldwide, which introduces some serious questions about ethics and conflict of interest,' Thomas writes. 'Hopefully, this discovery will spur Apple to fix the issue more quickly.'

Apple has not yet commented on the bug, but we will update this post when a fix has been released.

Releases[edit]

Main series[edit]

The Witcher[edit]

In 1996 and 1997, a Witcher video game was being developed by Metropolis Software in Poland, but it was canceled. The game's director was Adrian Chmielarz, former People Can Fly co-owner and creative director, who coined the translation 'The Witcher' during its development. According to Chmielarz, the game would have been a 3Daction-adventure game with role-playing elements such as moral choices and experience points.^[1]

In 2003, Polish video-game developer CD Projekt Red negotiated with Sapkowski for rights to The Witcher, given the languishing work at Metropolis,^[2] and released The Witcher, a role-playing game based on the saga in October 2007 for personal computers. It was well-publicized and, although it was the developer's first game, it received critical praise in Europe and North America. The Witcher was published in Poland by CD Projekt and worldwide by Atari. A console version, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf with the same story and a different engine and combat system, was scheduled for release in fall 2009 but was canceled that spring.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings[edit]

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is the sequel to The Witcher, developed by CD Projekt Red. On 16 September 2009, before Assassins of Kings was introduced, a video of the game was leaked;^[3] two days later, CD Projekt Red confirmed that it was in development.^[4]Assassins of Kings was published in Poland by CD Projekt, by Namco Bandai Games in Europe and by Atari in North America. The game was also distributed digitally through Steam and DRM-free on Good Old Games.

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt[edit]

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released on 19 May 2015, and has become considered one of the greatest games of all time, shipping over ten million copies by March 2016.^[5] Subsequently two expansion packs were released, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone in 2015 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine in 2016.

Other games[edit]

The Witcher: Crimson Trail (Polish: Wiedźmin: Krwawy Szlak), also known as The Witcher Mobile is a mobile-phone action game created by Breakpoint on license from CD Projekt in November 2007.^[6] It features a young Geralt as a promising student who has completed his training to become a monster-slayer – a witcher.

The Witcher: Versus was a Flash-based multiplayer fighting browser game, developed for CD Projekt Red by one2tribe and released in 2008. In the game, which has been discontinued, players created a character from one of three classes and challenged other players in battle.^{[citation needed]}

CD Projekt Red announced Battle Arena, a free-to-playmultiplayer online battle arena game for mobile devices, on July 1, 2014.^[7]

Reception[edit]

Wild Season (2015) Os X El Capitan

In October 2018, Sapkowski sent notice to CD Projekt demanding he be remunerated for sales of The Witcher video games, asking for more than 60 million Polish złoty (more than US$15 million) representing between about 5% and 15% of the game's revenues over the years. Sapkowski had originally provided the license to CD Projekt based on a lump sum payment, but now believes he is due more since the series has become much more successful than expected. CD Projekt stated that while they had met all obligations on the initial acquisition of the license, they will work amicably with Sapkowski's legal representatives to come to a fair outcome for all parties.^[15] By February 2019, CD Projekt worked out a settlement agreement that would provide Sapkowski additional royalties for their video game series, though not as great as those Sapkowski had asked for, as to maintain a working relationship with the author for future Witcher projects.^[16] The settlement was finalized by December 2019.^[17]

Sales[edit]

The series had sold over 33 millon copies by March 2018,^[18] increasing to over 50 million copies by May 2020.^[19]
