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.

    Ironically though, since SSH and Apache are both off in the default install, does that mean that OS X takes over the title of "Never had an exploit in the default install"? It's been out a year now so that's actually a reasonably impressive claim.

    Have I missed a bug along the way somewhere? I do remember doing a manual apache upgrade at one point but don't recall that being a remote root bug.
