Security Update 2004-06-07

Gott… Det var dom möjliga hålen det…

Mycket bra. Inväntar Daring Fireballs analys dock

Då behöver du inte vänta längre, herr Gruber verkar gilla uppdateringen.

Ja, jag såg det. Nu kan jag vara lugn

För den som vill ha direktlänkar, Gruber har både uppdaterat sin artikel om problemen och skrivit en ny text om den nya säkerhetsuppdateringen.

Ja, såhär skriver Gruber i en av artiklarna ovan:

The gist of Apple’s solution is that when Launch Services attempts to automatically launch an app that you’ve never before manually launched, it presents a confirmation dialog before launching the app. This solves the vulnerability where unknown apps could be launched automatically, and does so without removing any functionality.

APPLE-SA-2004-06-07 Security Update 2004-06-07

Description

Security Update 2004-06-07 delivers a number of security enhancements
and is recommended for all Macintosh users.. The purpose of this
update is to increase security by alerting you when opening an
application for the first time via document mappings or a web address
(URL).. For more details, including a description of the new alert
dialog box, please see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25785

Versions:. Security Update 2004-06-07 is available for the following
system versions:
*. Mac OS X v10.3.4 "Panther"
*. Mac OS X Server v10.3.4 "Panther"
*. Mac OS X v10.2.8 "Jaguar"
*. Mac OS X Server v10.2.8 "Jaguar"

The following components are updated:

Component:.. LaunchServices
CVE-ID:..... CAN-2004-0538
Impact:..... LaunchServices automatically registers applications,
which could be used to cause the system to run unexpected
applications.
Discussion:. LaunchServices is a system component that discovers and
opens applications.. This system component has been modified to only
open applications that have previously been explicitly run on the
system.. Attempts to run an application that has not previously been
explicitly run will result in a user alert.. Further information is
available in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25785

Component:.. DiskImageMounter
CVE-ID:..... No CVE ID has been reserved as this is only an
additional preventative measure.
Impact:..... The disk:// URI type mounts an anonymous remote file
system using the http protocol.
Discussion:. The registration of the disk:// URI type is removed
from the system as a preventative measure against attempts to
automatically mount remote disk image file systems.

Component:.. Safari
CVE-ID:..... CAN-2004-0539
Impact:..... The "Show in Finder" button would open certain
downloaded
files, in some cases executing downloaded applications.
Discussion:. The "Show in Finder" button will now reveal files in a
Finder window and will no longer attempt to open them.. This
modification is only available for Mac OS X v10.3.4 "Panther" and Mac
OS X Server v10.3.4 "Panther" systems as the issue does not apply to
Mac OS X v10.2.8 "Jaguar" or Mac OS X Server v10.2.8 "Jaguar".

Component:.. Terminal
CVE-ID:..... Not applicable
Impact:..... Attempts to use a telnet:// URI with an alternate port
number fail.
Discussion:. A modification has been made to allow the specification
of an alternate port number in a telnet:// URI.. This restores
functionality that was removed with the recent fix for CAN-2004-0485.

Appleinsider har lite info om vad Jobs sagt om denna uppdatering:

(Ja, jag vet, detta är fjärde tråden som jag citerar samma AI-artikel i... )

Det blir aldrig för lite, det är första gången jag läser citatet.

Skit också... min uppdatering fastnade på "optimizing 85%". Efter 20 min blev jag tvungen att tvinga ner datorn. Finder hade hängt sig och det gick inte att få fram tvångsavsluta. Kör man på som om inget hänt eller ska man köra lite manuell optimering på något sätt?

Det dök upp så mycket konstigheter efter att jag tvingat ner maskinen så jag fick till slut köra "delete launch service cache" med Xupport. Problemen försvann som tur var men en annan intressant sak dök upp. Det ser ut som Apple tagit samma väg som 3:e-partsprylen Paranoid Android:

Hittade lite mera info, Apple har inte tagit samma väg, enligt John Gruber (som redan innan avrådde från PA och med goda skäl).
