Posted by pudge on from the updating-as-soon-as-i-post-this-story-and-quit-my-browser dept.

rgraham writes "Apple has release a new security update for the Safari cookie bug. 'Security Update 2003-12-05 updates Safari to prevent unauthorized access to a user's cookies.' They also updated the article on how to 'Configure Directory Access to Protect Your Mac From a Malicious DHCP Server.'" We posted that the other day, but this time, pictures!

    Just don't allow cookies. (Yes, it seems too simple)

    If by "fix" you mean "break a lot of functionality on sites" then yes, that certainly is an option.

    Man, do yourself a favor and don't use the root account if you can at all help it. Use sudo instead, it's much safer.
