Yup. Although, as your suspicion suggests - they apparently told the guy who reported the issue to them, and he's been telling everyone else. This ZDNet article explicitly addresses the topic - but the arstechnical post I originally posted here also says "Macs running versions 10.9 or earlier remain vulnerable." http://www.zdnet.com/article/backporting-fix-for-rootpipe-privilege-issue-too-much-for-apple/ _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
