Apple Security Update 2002-11-21 is Out

for Mac OS X 10.2.x and available for download via the Software Update preference panel or as a stand-alone installer. From the Read Me, "This Security Update fixes potential vulnerabilities introduced in BIND, the domain server and client library software package from Internet Software Consortium (ISC), that is shipped with Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. BIND version 8.3.4 addresses the recently-discovered potential vulnerabilities where an unauthorized person may disrupt the normal operation of the DNS name service. BIND is not activated by default on Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server."

We updated a PowerBook G4, iMac 350 SL, 3 G4 Cubes, 2 iBooks and an iMac G4 with no problems.
