蘋果公司已修補Mac系統安全漏洞

Apple issued an update for its OS X software for Mac computers to patch a security risk first spotted in its mobile operating system.

蘋果公司發佈了Mac電腦所用OS X軟件的更新版本，對旗下移動操作系統中出現的首個安全隱患打上了補丁。

The company said the software addresses a flaw that allows a would-be attacker to intercept data to or from a Mac computer, such as eMail. Last week, Apple issued a similar security fix for its iOS software that runs on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

該公司稱，更新後的軟件消除了一個缺陷，這個缺陷允許潛在攻擊者攔截Mac電腦發出或接收的數據，比如電子郵件。上週，蘋果針對iPhone、iPad和iPod Touch運行的iOS軟件發佈了類似的安全補丁。

At the time, it said that it was aware that the Mac operating system had a similar security risk and that it was working on a fix.

當時蘋果公司稱，已瞭解Mac操作系統存在類似的安全隱患，公司正着手開發補丁。

In addition to the security fix, the latest OS X update also adds the ability to make audio calls on Apple's FaceTime service as well as other improvements to its Mail software and Safari browser.

除了安全補丁之外，最新更新的OS X操作系統也增添了使用蘋果公司FaceTime服務進行語音通話的功能，同時還對蘋果Mail軟件和Safari瀏覽器進行了完善。

Even as Apple released the fixes, security firm FireEye said it has discovered a way that a hacker could monitor activity on Apple's mobile software. FireEye said it has created a proof-of-concept monitoring app for iOS 7 devices that can record whatever a user touches on the screen, similar to the way some programs log keystrokes on a computer. FireEye said it is collaborating with Apple to address the issue.

儘管蘋果發佈了補丁，但安全公司FireEye表示，已經發現黑客能使用一種方法來監控蘋果移動軟件的活動。FireEye稱，公司已經針對iOS 7設備創建了一個概念驗證型監控應用，可以記錄用戶在屏幕上觸碰的任何東西，其方式類似於一些程序記錄電腦按鍵信息的方式。FireEye稱，公司正與蘋果開展合作以解決相關問題。

An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on FireEye's claim.

蘋果公司發言人對FireEye的說法不予置評。
