Mac OS X Security Update 2003-03-03
In your Software Update...Security Update 2003-03-03:
- The Security Update addresses a security issue in sendmail where a remote individual could gain access and control of the system. Although sendmail is off by default in Mac OS, it is recommended that all users install this Security Update. This update also includes a newer version of OpenSSL that provides improved data confidentiality by addressing a recently-discovered security issue.
An Apple Software Update was expected today, but no word of Java 1.4.1 which was also rumored to be released today.

Always install security updates... even though you may not know exactly why.

These are always interesting. I rarely understand what it does, but, oh well. An update is an update. :)

Given that this sendmail vulnerability was just discovered recently, I doubt that this is any update you were expecting.
Just because you got an update today doesn't mean your expectation was right ;-)

How could a remote individual gain access and control of your system through sendmail? Do they explain this? This doesn't make sense.

By publically stating the security issues present does anyone else think this poses a security threat of it's own?

Its still better than MS, who don't post security updates with information until the entire www is swamped with viruses and other exploits for the vulnerability.
My 2 cents.

Installed, restarted, rebooted, loads software update, and it's still there.
Crap.
