A security issue was discovered in July on Apple's Mac OS X computers that could allow hackers to have open access to the entire operating system. Apple has been working hard to fix the bug and plans to release a patch to get rid of it, according to The Guardian.

The bug was first reported in July and is known as DYLD. It is considered a major hole because hackers could remotely run a program on a Mac with administrator rights and then have access to the entire Mac OS X operating system.

The bug has been used "in the wild," according to the Guardian. A hacker was able to use the vulnerabilities from this bug in order to install adware on a victim's computer.

Apple will fix this bug with an update to its Mac OS X operating system. The update will be known as Mac OS X 10.10.5. The first beta of this next security update did not include this bug fix. This led some users to think that the bug would not be fixed until the El Capitan operating system is released in the fall.

Apple is usually more secure than Windows when it comes to bugs. Because of this, Windows has to release regular updates in order to release security patches. Apple has seen its share of bugs in the past though, including the "gotofail" bug in April 2014 and the "Shellshock" and "Bash" bugs from last September. Additionally, three severe vulnerabilities were found by Google's Project Zero security team in January. Apple has been slow to address bugs and vulnerabilities in the past, and this is concerning to security experts and some OS X users.

OS X users should expect the fix to the bug to arrive in about a week or so. Apple has taken steps to prevent DYLD from doing further damage by revoking credentials of any develop caught exploiting the vulnerability. Additionally, these developers' apps will be placed on the malware list.
