if your fleet's well maintained you should only need to push the 500k to fix sudo! Do we really need to download 1.7GB+ to each Mac needing updates for a 500k binary (sudo) plus generously 500MB for the graphics drivers? How I miss the old days of incremental updaters and combo updaters. One final complaint - defining the security content says it fixes the sudo vulnerability - CVE-2021-3156 - as well as a couple Intel graphics drivers. presumably we'll be looking at 2021-003 for Mojave, 2021-002 for Catalina, and Big Sur 11.2.2 or 11.3.1 depending on how far Apple's progressed with features before zero days require them to patch again. they're not winning any bonus points from me:Īnd for those who - I can't anticipate why - might really need it:Ī penultimate complaint - this naming scheme (or lack thereof) is really going to muddy the waters when the NEXT security updates are released. You would think with the marketing budget Apple has they could pay someone enough to ensure consistency in release naming. but not well-named, and ever since Security Update 2020-006 for Mojave I think Apple owes it to us to at least state on the download page whether the update is cumulative or requires the preceding version be installed.įor example, what's the difference between:Ī few minutes ago those pages were identical although except for the download links while the text of the latter has been updated to read "macOS Catalina 10.15.7 supplemental update" but the header still says Security Update 2021-001 (Catalina) Some features may not be available for all regions, or on all Apple devices.I'd like to think the prolific complaining I have been doing in the past week has helped - they're all posted as downloads now.
