http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/news/index.cfm?newsid=17052 Apple issues AirPort Extreme security update Apple has patched a hole in AirPort on Intel Macs Jonny Evans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple has introduced an AirPort Extreme software update for users of Intel Macs. The 6.5MB update is described by the company as: "Recommended for all Intel-based Macs and provides compatibility with AirPort Extreme base stations and networks." The update fixes a vulnerability that affects both the server and client versions of Mac OS X and was disclosed as part of the month of Apple bugs project. The flaw meant attackers on the wireless network could cause system crashes by sending a maliciously crafted frame to an affected system. This issue affects the Core Duo version of Mac mini, MacBook, and MacBook Pro computers equipped with wireless. Other systems, including the Core 2 Duo versions are not affected. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of wireless frames. The update is available for multiple operating languages and requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 and an Intel-based Mac. > Apple issues AirPort Extreme security update > Apple has patched a hole in AirPort on Intel Macs Oh wow! Apple fixed a small flaw before it became a problem. Much better than some other unnamed software companies that don't fix flaws until after they become big problems.

What has she done to you to deserve such an attitude. I do know of Michelle Steiner, from the internet, I have no problems with her. Now If you have a macintosh related reponse... this is the place... If not, close trap.

I'll take that as a compliment. <g> And sometimes I even know that the best defense is to ignore the attacker, as you may have noticed that I'm doing with DoRa Zero.

Now if we could just get everyone else to do that, it would give up and go away and would be a thing of the past. > Now if we could just get everyone else to do that... Yeah, well, that's never a realistic expectation. I don't understand why people don't just killfile the people whose posts they don't want to read _AND_ all followups to those posts. I don't know offhand which newsreaders allow you to do this easily (well, MacSOUP is one), but it's definitely a worthwhile feature to have, in my opinion.

Unison doesn't currently let you do the follow-ups part, but you can bet I'm putting in a feature request for it. SignatureJR > Yeah, well, that's never a realistic expectation.

It is easy to kill both authors and thread topics. My news group activity has reduced by about 30% will my kill files. Takes about three key strokes. > I am using MT Newswatcher.

Chicken is good; in fact, I f.cked (er, fried) one for dinner last night--well, not the whole chicken, just half of a breast; I'm not a pervert, after all.
