OS X Security Update: Apache, SSL and SSH
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.
Death to all black niggers!!

that Apple takes security seriously.
Oh well
for those who cant/wont compile their own
Well, well. A Slashdot editor admits he uses a primarily closed-source system (yes, some minor parts are open) from one of the most proprietary companies around, Apple. So let me get this straight. The Editors can't be bothered to test with Internet Explorer because they don't run Microsoft (this was stated during the whole page-widening bug fiascos), but they'll happily run Apple?
So we basically know the truth. The Slashdot editors do not embrace Free Software, they are ONLY running away from Microsoft. They don't give a damn about the Free Software movement.
Freaking hypocrites.
You know, the hole that allows a specially crafted, chunk-encoded HTTP request to execute arbitrary code on the server, and as Microsoft would say, "a malicious user" could exploit this to damage systems, take over a box, or worse.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
Does it run under Finder or as a Desk Accessory?
- Overpriced proprietary hardware
- No way to upgrade
- Poor price/performance ratio
- Sloppy security
- Gay user base
I'm sorry, but when I show up for my local AUG meeting,I don't want to be hit on by the boys in pink.
Mystery writer Patricia Cornwell, after her husband tried to kill her for being a dyke, sold her real-life-soap-opera to a movie producer (who came to his senses and never produced the movie). Biographical film contract in hand, Crazy Patty started stalking Jodie Foster to play the role of Patricia Cornwell, because Patty thought it only appropriate a dyke actress play a dyke author. Jodie wasn't impressed, so Cornwell started stalking other actresses instead, and reportedly got down and naked with a couple of famous gals -- I guess the "director's couch" works in all sorts of ways. Jodie's a sort of a family gal though and Crazy Patty wouldn't have been her type even had Jodie been available.
It's common knowledge in the lesbian community that Jodie's a dyke but it's not as often in the press as Tom Cruise because she is not very often out there making denials -- which should teach Tom something but he's not quite as intelligent as Jodie. She merely refuses to discuss her very private private life, but she issues few denials, though there've been some odd semi-denials over the years. Buddy Foster, Jodie's ne'er-do-well brother who was also a child star but never made the transition to adult roles, said his sister is "at least bisexual" though he didn't seem in actuality to know as much about it as any random bar dyke would. He did reveal that their mom Brandy was a dyke, and Jodie was named after her mom's pistol-packing butch lover who the kids called "Aunt Jo". For once Jodie got really peevish, resulting in a family feud held in the press throughout 1997. Perhaps Jodie broke her usual stoic silence more for her mother than for herself being outed. She made a public statement about Buddy being a drug addict with severe memory quirks and she said he's only "a distant acquaintance" not qualified to speak about her life one way or the other. Buddy, hurt, replied to Jodie's press release, "I'm a recovering addict, but my memory is fine". Wonderful family, eh.
The semi-talented actress's long-time sweetheart is foxy Cydney Bernard. They're co-moms of a son, Charlie, and Cydney was present to catch the lad when he left Jodie's womb about two years ago. Cool, huh? Whether or not Charlie is a turkey-baster kid like Rosie's, Jodie isn't telling, though while she was pregnant the reports were that it was an anonymous sperm donor. "I will not talk about the father or the method" is the biggest statement she made to the press. There is no father named on Charlie's birth certificate.
Jodie's a weird one when it comes to the closet, as it doesn't seem she's ashamed of being gay or anything like that, she just has a powerful need to preserve her privacy. Before she will give interviews to promote a new film, she makes the interviewers sign an agreement not to ask her any questions about her home life, her lover, her son, or that bastard who shot Ronald Reagan -- everything else is a go. She doesn't mind being seen with her constant companion Cydney, but on the other hand it's really hard to get pictures of them so much as holding hands.
She is just generally very private. Yet now and then she makes a big public show of dating some eligible bachelor just like in the old Hollywood days when studio moguls made their dyke and faggot stars do photo-ops with their opposite gender. But it's hard to say if it isn't just a bit of an inside joke for Jodie, like at the Golden Globes where she and Russell Crowe were photographed kissing and hugging and feeling each other up. It was afterward rumored that he was having a threesome going with Jodie and Cydney, the lucky dawg, and it just might be true. The gossip-column dish was that Cydney had chosen Russell herself to father her and Jodie's next child, and Jodie agreed that the "no known father" routine had caused more intrusions rather than less over Charlie. Though at first Jodie denied she was pregnant with a second child, turned out she was. In classic "closeted, not closeted" Jodie Foster style, she had her press agent issue a statement that the gossip about the two gals and Russell were not true, but that Cydney and Jodie were hoping their next kid would have Russell's piercing eyes.
Russell Crowe is notorious for his attraction to femme dykes. He had Nicole Kidman before her cover-marriage to Tom, and he did Sharon Stone soon after she played a killer dyke on the screen. Sharon by the way reported that Russell was one helluva hot stud. Hell, I'd do him too.
By the way, a professional Jody Foster look-alike is available on video tapes doing the nasty with other gals, including "lezbo bondage" Some people think these videos really are Jodie, and after careful examination, they very well may be.
Apple owners are, by and large, the type of nancy who gets the vapors trying to figure out which end of the screwdriver to use. The idea of choice or configurability frightens them. That is to whom Apple targets their marketing. You know the kind; they dress head to toe in black and drive a Volkswagen new-beetle. They spend hours--nay--days getting their virtual desktop decorated just right. They agonize over which screen wallpaper to use. Style over substance.
Redhat has about 70 or 80 advisories for RedHat 7.2 alone in 2002.
How can this be?
