The vulnerability which came to light 2 months ago during Black Hat has been fixed. At first Apple denied the existance of this security flaw, however the september 21st release on AirPort has proven otherwise. The affected systems could suffer from an overflow triggered by a hacker in close proximity if an application is affected (currently no known affected applications are known).
The following systems are affected by this flaw:
- PowerBook
- iMac
- Mac Pro
- Xserve
- PowerPC-based Mac Mini
Due to the severity of this security flaw it is adviced that if your MacBook is on this list you should apply the patch as soon as possible.

You might want to do a little research. SecureWorks never gave Apple relevant information to find any vulnerabilities. It was found by an internal audit.
Apple Wireless Security Patch doesn’t imply M&E were right.

I know SecureWorks didn’t give apple any relevant information, but I also have not mentioned of them doing so, therefore I’m not really sure what you’re coming from?
