The security page just says "iOS 11.4: Details available soon" https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 - is that normal, or is there a particularly nasty security bug fixed here that they want to keep on the down-low until enough people have patched?
- gepeto42 8y agoThere is always a delay. Usually the e-mail distribution goes out an hour or two after the update itself is released, and the support page gets updated a little bit after that.
- 0x0 8y agoI do remember a slight delay, but I don't recall them adding an actual entry early with a placeholder "available soon"? Maybe I'm just misremembering.
- gepeto42 8y agoI have seen this many times.
- 0x0 8y agoI guess we'll be getting macOS 10.13.5 at a later date, together with these advisories then. Edit: looks like 11.4 fixes another root exploit with details "probably next week" (is that an estimate for 10.13.5 then?) - https://twitter.com/i41nbeer/status/1001548232613421057 https://twitter.com/i41nbeer/status/1001548232613421057
- gepeto42 8y agoYou're right, I think the last time the delay was this long was exactly that. Better (?) than the times Apple self-dropped 0day on themselves by disclosing Safari bugs that were not fixed on the other platforms I guess.
