Apple to Fix Security Flaws in Jaguar

Apple released a statement today indicating that it would release fixes to potential security flaws revealed earlier this week.

Apple allays some concerns by stating: "Apple's policy is to quickly address significant vulnerabilities in past releases of Mac OS X wherever feasible".

So much for the conspiracy theories so wildly thrown about by @Stake, CNET, ZDNET and the rest that Apple was forcing a $129 upgrade on poor Mac users in order to fix security issues huh? Sorry guys, but your FUD has been disproven...yet again. Try writing the truth instead for a change. :rolleyes:

what kind of feasible...

financial, technical, motivated....

yeah i'm wondering what they mean by "feasible" also.

What exactly are the holes?

Though I already have Mac OS X v10.3, it's good to know Mac OS X v10.2 users will be all right too. Now we can stop complaining.

And everyone doubted Apple even Tech Tv..ehehe

All I can say is kudos for Apple :cool:

They ain't Microsoft, so what did the press expect?

What we don't know is whether this is a change of heart or was the plan all along. It's quite possible that all the negative publicity made Apple realise that it had to keep updating the older versions.

At this point, does it matter? If they had a change of heart, then they learned a valuable lesson. If they planned all along to fix the vulnerabilities, then they still got the message from the customer base. So it's a win win no matter how you look at it.
