Apple Posts Security Update 2002-11-21
Znonymous Coward writes "Apple has released Security Update 2002-11-21 for Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) via the Software Update utility. The update 'fixes potential vulnerabilities introduced in BIND, the domain server and client library software package from Internet Software Consortium (ISC), that is shipped with Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. BIND version 8.3.4 addresses the recently-discovered potential vulnerabilities where an unauthorized person may disrupt the normal operation of the DNS name service. BIND is not activated by default on Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server.'"
Yes yes, BIND updates are all well and good, but does this security update include any info about Ellen Feiss???
There aint no pancake so thin it doesn't have two sides.
Beware listening to any comment posted on VersionTracker.
The forums seem to be full of people that either just make up symptoms involving the updated software (kernal panics on download of the install"), or reporting problems that are not at all involved with the software ("I installed AIM, and now the power to my water heater failed")
No matter how safe the updated software (Apple or otherwise), there are always people that will have massive problems.
I no longer even look at the forums.
They make reading Slashdot at -1 look like a rational discussion.
