Security Update 2003-11-04 addresses a potential vulnerability with the Terminal application in Mac OS X v10.3 and Mac OS X Server v10.3...

What? They're not issuing an update for 10.0 or 10.1? It's a plot to force Mac users to upgrade! Apple is worse than Microsoft! Worse than Red Hat! That's why they'll never Succeed In The Enterprise!

OK, maybe not worse than Red Hat.

No, please, you go first

Boy, after Apple's recent Firewire drive and FileVault data erasure issues, I think I'll let someone else go first. Let me know how things look, post-update, tomorrow morning...
