Who says government can’t get anything right?

It was just two years ago that the Supreme Court, in a landmark decision, scraped away decades of barnacled case law obscuring our beloved Constitution and unequivocally established the right of corporations, unions and wealthy individuals to spend as much money as they want to influence the outcome of elections.

Apple Security Advisory 2012-001 v1.1, (Sat, Feb 4th)

|
Comments Off
Earlier today, Apple announced v 1.1 of the Security update 2012-001. The advisory announced the availability of Security Update for Mac OSX10.6.8 that addresses a compatibility issue, and the removal of security fixes that were present in original update for Snow Leopard. I am not confident why Apple removed security fixes from the original release, but maybe one of our readers can help us understand the issues behind the ImageIOsecurity fix removal.
Below is the security advisory and we will link to the advisory once it is available on Apple's website.

APPLE-SA-2012-02-03-1 Security Update 2012-001 v1.1



Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 is now available

for Mac OS X v10.6.8 systems to address a compatibility

issue.



Version 1.1 of this update removes the ImageIO security

fixes released in Security Update 2012-001.



OS X Lion systems are not affected by this change.



Update #1:
Apple Support shows there were 3 different issues which were corrected in ImageIO in the original Security Update information located at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5130.
Elsewhere, it appears that there are a number of users of OS XLion which had problems after applying the original update as reported in Apple Support forums, 9to5Mac, and thevarguy.com. The Security Advisory only mentions OS X Snow Leopard, so I am not sure that the two issues are related or just coincidental. Stay tuned for more information.
Update #2:
Secunia has a very nice list of details in the update from yesterday. More information is located at http://secunia.com/advisories/47843/. No real information on why the ImageIO updates were removed.
