- saagarjha 9y ago"Arbitrary code execution" means very little to most users, I'd assume. Fixing Messages is something they can immediately understand. Plus, the Messages bug has been driving me up the wall for weeks, so I'm glad it's fixed.
- thephyber 9y ago> "Arbitrary code execution" means very little to most users, I'd assume. Fixing Messages is something they can immediately understand. It doesn't say "fixing messages". It doesn't hint at a high impact CVE. The only mention of any form of "security" is the link to the KB article, which I only caught after I noticed this HN post. As a software engineer at a software+network security company and in investor in Apple, I'm not impressed. Bottom line: there was no urgency baked into the update description.
