Apple Patches Sendmail Bug Quickly

Posted by pudge on from the mmmmmm-ail dept.

    ssh (login)@(yourmacbox)
    sudo softwareupdate

    Of course, this only works if you have access to it from the outside ;)

    "Redhat was much faster. Look at the post on the original slashdot article, Redhat had allready a patch available."

    Look at the original Slashdot story yourself. The comment relating to Apple's patch was there within 3 hours of the one relating to Red Hat.

    And note, that is when Slashdot mentioned it, not when Apple posted it. Basically, the two companies had patches out at virtually the same time.
