Hefty Apple Patch Set Tackles Leopard, Firewall Issues

[Gigacore]

Apple has released an enormous set of patches for Mac OS X, Safari and the Leopard firewall.

by Lisa Vaas
Apple issued an enormous set of patches on Nov. 14, with 41 fixes for Mac OS X and Safari vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to hijack systems, trigger denial-of-service and jack up their privileges.

If that's not enough, Apple capped it off on Nov. 15 with three fixes to Leopard's firewall, to solve the issue of Leopard's firewall not blocking all connections when configured to do so.

service pack so soon

good for apple users now their machines will be "safer" than before

[Gigacore]

^ LOL... Yeah mac users will be happy now.. and the leo is bit cool and they dont have to worry about it ..

At least we have a service pack. Where's Vista's service pack? Btw, the .1/.2 updates always come up very quickly after the release so it's no surprise...

[iMav]

vista has been consistently coming out with updates and the service pack will feature these updates and a few more so we dont miss it a lot

[Gigacore]

And even vista users didnt miss the automatic updates soon after its release

Blizzard! All the way through! Snow, all over. It was much to deep. But we had to get that serum through. It was mush mush mush all over. Common now, mush mush mush.

^ Come to the point! (i mean no indirect expressions) Be bold, be straight forward!

[naveen_reloaded]

i doubt thier action .. how importtant these issues should have been they released a service pack so soon..

anyway its my guess...

[goobimama]

Oh sorry. Daffy duck was going through my head. That has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Anyway, as you can see, both OSes have had security patches within a few days of their release. No big deal. Just run of the mill stuff...

You really need to get the hang of choosing which threads to post a reply in...

[goobimama]

I had written a nice toasty reply. But then I thought, I'd be wasting a lot of time over nothing. Maybe you should be my thread adviser..

[aryayush]

Your words, not mine.

[Gigacore]

stupid, useless conversation.. mention "offtopic"

[aryayush]

Yeah, well, it is a completely useless topic.

There are seven Mac users on this forum out of which only three have Leopard and all three of them knew about this update long before you posted this thread.
