Patching the patch: Security Update 2007-009 V.1.1

| No TrackBacks
You guys might remember a post I did a week ago about Apple up dating an update a week after it was first released (if you don't remember, it' s here), and downplaying the fact that it did? Using the wise old tactic of not calling attention to a mistake by not mentioni ng it in case no one really caught it in the first place, Apple just went ahead and fixed Security Update 2007-009 and quietly re-issued the corrected update, which was V.1.1, a week later. If you want to know, what actually happened was that a number of users reported that Safari crashed when visiting certain websites after the patch was installed. Apple said,
Security Update 2007-009 v1.1 addresses an issue introduced in Secu rity Update 2007-009 that may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit when browsing t o certain websites"
This was an across-the-board glitch, which hosed Safari on Tiger, Leopa rd and Windows for some users. So Apple patched the p atch and sent it out again. Apple screwed up. They went and fixed it. Mystery s olved.
