Symantec is Not the only one looking for theoretical/potential security vunerabilities in MacOS X. Also of interest are Apple, and the FreeBSD, and Linux communities. The bulk of these potential threats are in programs like Apache(MacOS X's webserver software), and in things like Postfix (Apple's bundled mailserver). Postfix and Apache are the standard bearers in the Unix/Linux world as well. Apple's also pretty proactive about fixing holes as well. Thanks for nothing Symantec.
