Apple Still Has Not Patched the DNS Hole

Posted by kdawson on 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."

    If you're more worried about how you get moderated and what the results are than about saying what you really think, you're worried about the wrong thing.

    Moderation is a gimmick to get people to come talk here. I sometimes succumb to the temptation to check how I've been moderated, too. But the only way I (think I) am letting moderation affect my posts is to motivate me to write clear, succinct, logical posts. And you can see that I don't let moderation motivate me very much. :|-
