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."

    Apple has never been good at software or hardware.

    They gave up even maintaining their core operating system, switched to someone elses hardware and still cling to that stupid one button mouse.

    I doubt most people working for Apple even know what bind is. Someone is fixing their operating system for free and they still don't get it.

    Even microsoft had an offical patch out asap.
