The original title was much clearer, after changing the title of this submission, there's no context anymore for people to understand why it's important.
It's important because it shows that people have known about the root vulnerability currently discussed on twitter at least 2 weeks ago and were discussing it on Apple's support forum.
EDIT: Original title was "Apple security vulnerability posted on developer forums as troubleshooting tip"
- johnhenry 9y agoWhat was the original title?
- runesoerensen 9y ago"Apple security vulnerability posted on developer forums as troubleshooting tip"
- colanderman 9y agoTo be fair, "originally disclosed" would get the point across more readily than "posted".
- IncRnd 9y agoTo fix this, just set your root password.
- programmarchy 9y agoApparently other accounts are affected, too e.g. _applepay, _uucp [1] [1] https://twitter.com/unsynchronized/status/935656609140711426 https://twitter.com/unsynchronized/status/935656609140711426
- thorin1 9y agoThey are affected but at least they don't have root privileges.

- mverwijs 9y agoThat is no fix. That is a workaround.
- IncRnd 9y agoIf you’re going to be pedantic, you need to define the audience. There are many people who read this page. This is a fix for the issue from a usability standpoint, but it is a workaround for the vulnerability from a software standpoint.
