Security Update 2003-12-05

[MacRumors]

Apple has posted a security update (2003-12-05) in your software update:

Security Update 2003-12-05 updates Safari to prevent unauthorized access to a user's cookies.

This plugs a security vulnerability that was revealed in late November.

I just tried; I get an error.

Well I sure don't want anyone getting their hands on my cookies!

 

[mactastic]

This is for everyone right? Not just Panther users?

 

[mangoman]

Apple rocks. Thank you, Cupertino.

"... prevent unauthorized access to a user's cookies."


Glad it only effects unauthorized access to my cookies and not the ones I've authorized.

And for those that get brave, let us know if this breaks anything. I'll wait till I see a few reports on a G5 Dual running 10.3.1

HA! I had it downloaded and restarted before you guys even posted this! Score for me. Oh well, my cookies are secure. Hu-zah then.

That's not what you were saying last night!

While you're working on that, could you try and get me a McLaren, Murcielago, or most any other supercar?

 

[Elenita]

No problems so far on a 15" Aluminum Powerbook running Mac OS X 10.3.1!

 

[Counterfit]

Just what I wanted to hear!

 

[robotrenegade]

Got it. No body touchs my cookies!

 

[SFNE Freak]

Only weirdness I encountered was that iChat, Address Book and Sherlock reappeared in my Dock after I restarted. Other than that, everything is fine.

 

[SilentPanda]

What if I just wanted to give away my cookies... and not have them stolen?

Sure it was, your mom had authorized access to my cookies!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm gonna download and install this after seeing a few more success stories.

PB12" working just fine

10.3.1 on a 12" revB PB working just fine. Had to reboot, darn. I hadn't rebooted since the week before Thanksgiving

 

[k2k koos]

wiat until the cookie monster hears of this, he ain't goin to be happy!

 

[TomSmithMacEd]

I will try it when I get home, but I'm sure it will be fine. I feel weird installing sercurity patches though, like I would be using XP or something.... Then I relize the Mac patches are to protect something that COULD be a problem not something that IS a problem like on windows machines.

Installed on 15inch Tibook with 10.3.1 and no issues at all.

I love the fact Apple always releases sec. patches as soon as they can before it becomes an issue.
