I'm still with 10.11. I don't plan to update soon, since the benefit of Siri, Photos and the other major features is quite small, compared to the risk that I might loose working days if something goes wrong ( I'm a freelancer ).
As far as I read in the article there will be 10.12.1 ( the final fix ) which will have that part of the kernel refactored. I hope Apple will also support 10.11 and issue an update with the same fix.
- twoodfin 10y ago10.12.1 was released two days ago, which probably motivated the timing of this (excellent) writeup.
- zitterbewegung 10y agoI really don't think they will release an update since after every 10.x release they stop doing updates for the previous release. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS#Release_history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS#Release_history
- mwfunk 10y agoThey do security updates for previous releases.
- gulpahum 10y agoI got an update to 10.11 El Capitan yesterday, which probably fixes the vulnerability. You can see the fix in Apple's support page, have a look at the bottom of the page about "System Boot": https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207275 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207275 It looks like even 10.10 Yosemite got a fix. Here's a full list of security fixes Apple has made to its software: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222
- 0x0 10y agoSure looks like it, 10.10 + 10.11 + 10.12 is listed under the "System boot" CVE-2016-4669 entry. That must have taken quite the effort to backport!
