Apple Still Has Not Patched the DNS Hole

Posted by kdawson on Monday July 28, 2008 @11:17AM from the get-with-it-already dept.

Steve Shockley notes an article up at TidBITS on Apple's unexplained failure to patch the DNS vulnerability that we have been discussing for a few weeks now. "Apple uses the popular Internet Systems Consortium BIND DNS server, which was one of the first tools patched, but Apple has yet to include the fixed version in Mac OS X Server, despite being notified of vulnerability details early in the process and being informed of the coordinated patch release date."

They've had a while... What's keeping them? Do they WANT Mac OS C Server to suck more than it does already?

when asked by the Apple community why Apple still has not issued a patch for the well known recently discovered DNS exploit, Jobs replied "we actually have OS X Server users?"
