Essentially, two _hackers_ have figured out how to exploit wireless drivers on a variety of OS. The article targets MOSX (for pure spectacle IMHO), but didn't answer a question that maybe some here might be able to answer.
From my reading of the article it appears that the exploit is able to compromise hosts that auto-search for wireless networks. My question is this... If your host is configured to join only a specific network is it vulnerable?
