OS X Security Update: Apache, SSL and SSH

Posted by jamie on from the sounds-like-a-good-idea dept.

payote writes "Security Update July 2002 includes the updated components, Apache v1.3.26, mod_ssl v2.8.9 and OpenSSH v3.4p1, which provide increased security to prevent unauthorized access to applications, servers, and the operating system." It's not in my Software Update window, because I'm still on 10.1.4 (having heard rumors that RtCW doesn't work on 10.1.5). But it is indeed out, and any Mac OS X machine whose webserver or ssh server is open to an untrusted network needs to upgrade.

    RedHat just came out with their updated RPMS also. Last time that SSH came out with a security vulnerability (the same time the zlib one hit) I WAS HACKED! Do you know how bad you feel after you've been hacked? Its like being neutered.

      You must have been neutered, right? To make that comparison?

      Wow man, you must have big balls to admit in a public forum that you've been neutered. Wait, strike that...
