Flurry of Security Patches

Posted by timothy on from the heck-why-not-fix-those-too dept.

yggy writes "It's been a hectic day on the security patching front. Microsoft's bulletins for July include patches for three critical vulnerabilities on the same day that Mozilla releases new security updates for Firefox and Thunderbird. Not to be left behind, Apple fixed two Tiger flaws while Oracle issued a critical database server update." (See these separate stories on today's release of Firefox 1.0.5 and the 10.4.2 update from Apple, too.)

  1. Well bugger, my bug isn't fixed... by ChrisKnight · · Score: 5, Interesting

    After taking to Apple tech support about my X11 problem, and having them refuse to help, I guess I'll just have to follow the MS support path and re-install the OS.

    The sysadmin mantra lives on: All operating systems suck, they just suck differently.
