High Sierra Security Issue and Fix

Post by HCMarkus »

Noted at Arstechnica, but more concise here: https://www.macrumors.com

Does not impact earlier OS versions, only High Sierra.

Here's a link to that specific entry, so it will be easy to find as it recedes under newer entries.

I found it in Software Update this morning and ran it on all of the Macs around here.

Since one has to be at a Mac to run the hack, it's not quite the monster under the bed that the reports make it out to be.

The Chrome browser was pushing a corresponding update that made my iMac act weird till I rebooted twice.
