Yes, Apple is dropping support for PPC machines and Tiger in general.
I've seen information about Apple no longer providing parts for
PowerPC-based Mac repairs, in some cases. But as for no longer
supporting Tiger? Please provide specific citations. I'm
thinking that's just general rumour or something.
Uh, Dan, lets see:
Last couple of security updates did not include Tiger.
Were the patches applicable to the software in Tiger?
On 12/3/09, the security update was to update Java and did not
include 10.4 updates. Since Java is semi-independent of the OS, if
Apple was going to keep supporting 10.4, it SEEMS to me that they
would have updated it in 10.4 beside 10.5 and .6.
As I recall, it was for the Java release that's available on only
Leopard/SL anyway.
The most recent one included updates to cups
Have to look at that one.
and flash
Apple could issue a new security update every week, and not keep up
with Flash. So I'm not going to knock them there. Additionally -
how many of the Flash vulnerabilities are actually exploited on OS X?
OpenSSL
CVE-ID: CVE-2009-3555
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5.8, Mac OS X Server v10.5.8, Mac OS X
v10.6.2, Mac OS X Server v10.6.2
Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture
data or change the operations performed in sessions protected by SSL
While this is applicable to all implementations of SSL (it's a direct
protocol failure), I'm not finding or hearing of any code that takes
advantage of it on a Mac.
