corporate update solution?
Being able to interpose your own update server could actually be of great benefit both for IT departments and software companies. Imagine a school with some 2,000 computers on campus, they set up their own update server and voila, updating software becomes trivial. I think apple should open it up, so that people could actually subscribe to different update servers (definitely include authentication though). Instead of every application having to implement it's own software update. More security would be required, but this would be nice would it not?

In my opinion these are two different problems - the first problem (security) I would rate as moderate. If I understand it properly, the exploit requires that you on the same network as the target machine (they go through you, as opposed to you "reaching out and touching someone") So you can root a co-workers machine. Not good, but you could do that just by sitting at their desk...

I agree that apple should find a way to open this up to other developers - but it also seems like the security issues should not be underestimated. |
