Security Update 2007-005 Available

[brisully]

Man, It Didn't Work For My "mail Problems". For The Past (2 Days) Now I Haven't Been Able To Get Or Send-out My Mail To Anyone. Is Anyone Else Going Through The Exact Same Problems That I'm Going Through Right Now Or Is It Just Myself Here? I'm Really Am Hoping That The Mac Os X (10.4.10) Update Tackles Major Issues To "mail", Don't You?

Looks like the update capitalized the first letter of every word you type. I think I will hold off.

I'm holding off on this one until more reports come in.

10.4.9 was completely flawless for me, normally Apple Software QA is pretty good, so I wonder what is up here?

 

[aprilfools]

1 Restarted Computer
2 Repaired Permissions
3 Ran AppleJack
4 Restarted Computer
5 Ran Software Update
6 Restarted computer (was Long Restart x2)
7. Repaired Permissions again
Good to Go!!

AdiumX is still having weird window hiding issues. I suggest having it closed when updating.

Quit all applications and don't touch your mac during an update!!!

 

[rabidwonton]

One really really long reboot followed by a kernel panic, followed by a kernel panic, followed by a kernel panic, followed by giving up on booting OS X for now and booting windows =(.

MBP 17" Core Duo here.

I've got Comcast and I'm lucky if I get 1 mbps.

I get 30Mbps from comcast

Quit all applications and don't touch your mac during an update!!!

Nice exclamation points. I'm still not scared. I don't see any changes that were made to OS X that would cause a direct issue with AdiumX.

Hmm...whats the update to ruby?

 

[Since '76]

16.7mb update for G4 TiBook, installed then two restarts, working great.

 

[lalcan]

Aside from the double reboot, this iBook is as good as ever and Adium is working without problems.

Go PPC! ;-)

Hmm...whats the update to ruby?

I'm wondering the same thing.

 

[ortuno2k]

Double reboot on mine too.
I downloaded it, pressed restart and walked away but still heard it reboot twice.
It's been up for an hour without any problems.

I get 30Mbps from comcast

WOW!! I'd kill just to have your upload speed. If you don't mind me asking what does a connection like that run you?

 

[quovadis]

No problem with update ....

ran very smoothly, no looong restart or double restart!

 

[Sabon]

No problem on my Core2Duo 24" iMac with 10.4.9

No problem on my Core2Duo 24" iMac with 10.4.9. The whole thing took about two minutes from the first reboot to me back up and working. As far as I can tell no problems with any apps.

This looks like the kinds of services that might have needed hooks or facilities for iPhone type things.

Are you suggesting that they'd provide these in a security update? Seems more likely to be included in 10.4.10 than a security update. It's not about providing new "features," it's about patching old ones. And the article specifies what they patched and why.

Hmm...whats the update to ruby?

I'm wondering the same thing.

The article does a fine job of laying out what has been fixed.

CVE-ID: CVE-2006-5467, CVE-2006-6303

Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.9, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9

Impact: Denial of service vulnerabilities in the Ruby CGI library

Description: Multiple denial of service issues exist in the Ruby CGI library. By sending maliciously crafted HTTP requests to a web application using cgi.rb, an attacker could trigger an issue which may lead to a denial of service. This update addresses the issues by applying the Ruby patches.

Here's to hoping that my machine will be okay. I am running on a 2.16 Core 2 Duo 24" iMac so hopefully there won't be a problem...

 

[guy4apple]

When using Software Update, it had some trouble locating the software to update, it stayed on that for like 3 minutes. Anyone else get that?

And during the first startup, it hung on the caps lock light.

 

[lamina]

Made my 17" PB reboot twice, other than that, no issues here.

 

[joelovesapple]

Mine is good! Good to go!


*Resumes business as usual*

What's with all the people freaking out over double reboots. This has been normal part of some updates for quite some time now. If I recall correctly, it has to do with how the Mac updates certain parts of the software.

 

[bhibbert]

I think you should be calling Comcast now...

I've got Comcast and I'm lucky if I get 1 mbps. I used to get close to 3 mbps all the time with DSL, with the same computers (1 Mac, 1 WinXP), same router, same everything. Only thing that changed is the ISP and the modem. And Comcast's regional headquarters is within walking distance. Grrrr

Anyhoo... It's still plenty fast enough most all the time, and DSL is not an option anymore (no longer available where I live).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Try testmy.net and after the combined test compare your speed with other Comcast users. 1mbps is very low for Comcast. I get near 6 mbps regularly on this test with a Linksys WRTG54 and an original 20" Core Duo iMac running over the wireless lan.

 

[EagerDragon]

Fine on my PB 15, however besides the reboot it asked for, it booted on its own 1 more time.

It might be an SMTP account configuration problem on your email client.

The update went OK for me. Everything is working fine.

PS: why do you write every word starting with a captial letter?

 

[irishgrizzly]

I just installed it... two reboots that took about 12 minutes then all my files are coming up as corrupted!

Just kidding, I'm going to wait with this one as well
