Apple Releases OS X 10.9.2 With Fix for Major SSL Vulnerability, FaceTime Audio

[sniffies]

That happens for me, but only when I type quickly, press enter, open new tab, type again, and the enter is late. I don't think it's an actual problem.

Happens to me all the time whether I type quickly or slowly.

Unfortunately AppStore shows 10.9.2 as if it was properly installed...

Download the combo updater from the links in the story and run it.

when are they gonna combine FaceTime and Messages?

Excuse me? I don't appreciate your tone. I do understand this is a minor issue; simply an UI glitch. It doesn't affect usability at all. However, Apple has always prided itself for its' consistency and great UI. This UI glitch looks sloppy, and can give people setting their new computer up with Mavericks a bad impression. Think of Windows and the many old icons cluttered around the OS, even in 8.1. I have an eye for detail, so sue me.

WHAT??? They didn't fix this??? We should be OUTRAGED! I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I've had due to this critical defect.

I would personally recommend downloading the combo updater, then reinstalling with the combo. Should fix it.

Thank you for replying with even more pointless post.

So the update has failed for me. In the middle of updating it suddenly displayed login screen and then prompted me that some updates weren't installed.

Unfortunately AppStore shows 10.9.2 as if it was properly installed (which is not). gotofail.com still says my browser is vulnerable and about this mac reveals 10.9.1.

Bummer.

Did anyone else's desktop wallpaper get reset after the update?

No, but Apple still haven't fixed the fade issue stuck on restart/shutdown..

Username and password didn't work after the self-reboot; had to reboot again to bring the machine back.

Unfortunately, FaceTime Audio doesn't function on a Mac without a camera; was hoping having mike-enabled earphones would allow for at least voice conferencing but that is not the case...

when are they gonna combine FaceTime and Messages?

Never. Those are separate apps.

Excuse me? I don't appreciate your tone.[…]

You are not into humour much?

Hope this fixes problems with FireFox and Google Maps... doubt it.

Downloading now, only coming up as 406MB.

 

[Tech198]

You can't make omelets with breaking a few eggs...

But in Apple's case, they need more than "just a few"

Maybe a whole truck load. Till they get it right.. Then they realize they just made a big mess.

There has been some problem with the security update for lion.

For some reason apple put 2 versions of it in their server. Both have since been deleted. Note this would only affect the mac app store at this stage, not the one you get from their website.

Hopefully apple will put one back on their mac app store server soon.

In any case it is advisable to do a time machine backup before installing anything that requires a restart.

So many whiners got their hands on the SSL issue fix FOUR WHOLE DAYS since the exploit has been published.

Well I doubt it would fix issues with those.

Has anyone had issues with the update being corrupt? I tried updating 3 times via the App Store and got a pop-up each time saying "OS X Update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading."

I next tried downloading manually straight from Apple here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1725

This is the official checksum off of Apple's page:
SHA1=5cda6ebced71cb740319b318b34c5963cd761abc

However, the checksums don't match. This is what is computed for my download:
> openssl sha1 OSXUpd10.9.2.dmg
SHA1(OSXUpd10.9.2.dmg)= ed02b2974e18ba034a1fb2216fd92bc980aa2c97

I tried the combo package, but the checksum didn't match again. It should be this:
SHA1=c06a63982b522e43997a05cedc04b0bdb1a10207
But mine is this:
> openssl sha1 OSXUpdCombo10.9.2.dmg
SHA1(OSXUpdCombo10.9.2.dmg)= 04f896f78270ab54b6d6df44a680f13a46d1577e

Is this perhaps a normal thing that occurs immediately when Apple makes an update available, or should I be truly concerned that the package has been tampered with given that this whole issue is due to SSL being broken?

Both of your issues seem to be network related. Slowing down back to HD. Check your network?

He must be running on Comcast ...

 

[Sadisterr]

Where the hell is promised GPU drivers? In every beta before this final version they were mentioning it and in final version nothing?

 

[Squuiid]

SMB is even worse. WTF Apple.

 

[C DM]

Well they only had 18 months to sort it. But only bothered when someone else made it public knowledge.

So Apple knew about this 18 months ago? Or simply should have known, which is somewhat different?

They just deleted the mountain lion security update from the mac app store server too.

I would suggest downloading this from their website instead of through the mac app store at this stage.

 

[arkmannj]

when are they gonna combine FaceTime and Messages?

I wish..

Never. Those are separate apps.

They are seporate, but the question is: Should Messages and FaceTime be seporate Apps?

On Mobile it kind of makes sense to have them be seporate. Performance necessities, and the layout of the apps lend them to being seporate.

But on the desktop I feel like Messages and Facetime should be combined into the same application. It feels cumbersome, and can be confusing to many users to have them seporate. In this case (though not in Firefly) I am for unification.

They might be reposting it to Mac App Store to fix some upload/download issue or something like that.

 

[tywebb13]

Lets hope they don't pull mavericks 10.9.2 too!

The cat is already out of the bag with that one!

 

[Merode]

Download the combo updater from the links in the story and run it.

Worked, thanks!

What promise? The drivers are updated in 10.9.2. They rarely ever mention anything about updated drivers in the final version. There's no point since they often update drivers in each major update.

So Apple knew about this 18 months ago? Or simply should have known, which is somewhat different?

Given the craptastic planning they've shown for OS X/iOS updates, they probably didn't know until recently, probably a few weeks.

That's weird. The checksum on mine doesn't match the one they list on the webpage or the one you had.
