Security Update 2008-2

March 18th, 2008 at 10:38 pm (Apple, Mac)

One would think that Apple had tested out the security update before releasing it to the public… but apparently not. According to Apple:

Security Update 2008-002 is recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X. Previous security updates have been incorporated into this security update.

Unfortunately, many users have noticed one glaring bug in the update… SSH and sFTP doesn’t work anymore! How could Apple miss this one? I guess not everyone has been having this problem where a BUS error is reported, but I’m not willing to take the chance. You can view some of the discussion regarding this problem here: [linky]

So my advice is… Don’t install this update until Apple fixes this issue!

Update: it appears that the problems may be cleared up by Rogue Amoeba’s fix.  So update away!
