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.

    Microsoft just released their 33rd advisory/patch of the year. This encompasses their entire product line and all supported OSes.

    Redhat has about 70 or 80 advisories for RedHat 7.2 alone in 2002.

    How can this be?
