Apple to Fix Security Holes in Jaguar

Posted by pudge on from the do-not-jump-to-the-island-of-conclusions dept.

Simon Cozens writes "Yesterday's unsubstantiated report that Apple is refusing to supply security upgrades to Jaguar turns out to be untrue; Apple told MacCentral they will be fixing the bugs turned up by @stake. Next conspiracy, please!"

    either that, or they received a lot of words from angry sysadmins/users.(after reading that they wouldnt patch)

    and decided to patch.

    Dude or Dudette, you wouldn't have been mod'ed as "Flamebait" if you stated the reasons why:

    You wouldn't use it

    Documentation to back it up (personal experience counts)
    That's the way it works on /.. Flame away all you want, but the folks here want the facts to back it up.

    So the OS has been out, what, a week, and already people are finding security problems? Of course, so what about all the other hardware issues, and additional bugs that have already been found. Why would Apple rush to send out 10 security patches when Panther Public Beta 1.1 will soon be released?

    But, I'm funny how? Funny like a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What is so funny about me? What the FUCK is so funny about me? Tell me. Tell me what's funny.

    What are you gonna say about me? What are you gonna say? That I was a kind man? That I was a wise man? That I had plans? That I had wisdom? Bullshit man!

    This is the way the fucking world ends. Look at this fucking shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm fucking splitting, Jack.

    Actually, I've gone to their site and looked a little more thoroughly. It looks like the standalone installer for the 10.2.8 update is dated Oct. 3rd, so it seems as though you're right. So, I'm eating crow. Sorry; thought I was pointing you to something useful.

    As far as the AC's go who were, in true cowardly fashion, extremely rude and nasty to me, I don't let that sort of thing bother me. If a person doesn't have the balls to post from his own account, he's not worth listening to, which is why A/Cs are under my threshold. I only open them up when I'm extremely bored (like tonight).
