By sending specially created data sequences, hackers can freeze the version of Airport Extreme's Core Duo in Mac Mini, MacBook, and MacBook Pro models. However, the Core Duo 2 version is not affected by this vulnerability.

In order to prevent this from happening, the upgrade will help Mac OS X get more validation tasks. Although the flaw was patched in an upgrade issued earlier this year, Apple said the company still "fixes" the flaw to resolve a compatibility issue with a wireless access point of a Third party number.
