Why not an official bash bug update for OSX

The is an 'unofficial' download on Apple Support web, but not it isn't available as a part of 'normal' software update. Why? Is the patch insecure or a bet-version? There is a lot of comments in social networks about a new generation of malware able to infect Mac devices. It's true? (Look at Dr. Web site).

The Bash bug and the iWorm malware are not related. The Bash bug update – which is quite official – is only relevant for a small group of users (those that are running a server). The iWorm trojan affects all users: they all receive an update for XProtect automatically: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/04/iworm-malware-xprotect/

About bash bug update being available but not showing up in software updates???

Apple has posted a Bash Bug update (as of 9/29/14) for various versions of OS X. It can be downloaded on the downloads page. But why doesn't it show up as an Apple update on the Software Updates page???
When I go there it says "there are no updates available". What's up with that???
thanks.. bob

Have you tried going to the App Store and finding the update there? Or getting the updater from the Apple Downloads site: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update

Siri is iPad 3+. The 1 and 2 most likely lack the hardware to make the software work properly

Why do we use Unserialized V3 update for Inventory Management?

I have question on LO Cockpit extractor.

I'm not aware of any being for sale and if there are it's a scam. bash is free software provided to Apple and many other computer software developers.
If you are still running Snow Leopard and you feel the need to patch bash, you will have to compile it for yourself.
Note that Apple is on record as saying:
The vast majority of OS X users are not at risk to recently reported bash vulnerabilities," an Apple spokesperson told iMore. "Bash, a UNIX command shell and language included in OS X, has a weakness that could allow unauthorized users to remotely gain control of vulnerable systems. With OS X, systems are safe by default and not exposed to remote exploits of bash unless users configure advanced UNIX services.

Some pages don't render properly after Java update for OSX 10.6.8

I can't seem to get T-mobile.com's website pages to render properly anymore. So far, this is the only website I'm having this issue with, though there could be more I'm not aware of.
I go to www.t-mobile.com and this is what I get:
I think I might be missing a plug-in, but not sure; if so, I don't know which one or how to get it.
This only started happening after the latest Java update for OSX 10.6.8, which I installed on Feb. 24, 2013. All of T-mobile's pages look like this, except if I go to www.my.t-mobile.com's home page. Then I get a normal page, but after I log in, I get more wierd rendering issues again. So here's the page that appeared normal today:
And after I log in successfully, I'm back to the wierd rendering issues again:
I was so lost but then I decided to try a work around to get my online bill and managed to get it, but I don't want to see the pages like this. So help please?

So, here's more on my point...
I put in the 3 captured screen shots in my original post above. I used Grab to copy the web pages, saved them to my desktop as .tiff files and dropped them in for others to view. This morning, I went to look at my post and instead of seeing the screen shots, I see 3 tiny blue boxes with question marks. When I left click on the boxes, nothing happens. When I right click on them, I get options that are not helpful:
Open Image in New Window
Open Image in New Tab
Download Image
Copy Image Address
Import Image
Capture Selection from Screen
Convert Selected Traditional Chinese Text (why the frack is this an option?)
Convert Selected Simplified Chinese Text (or this an option?)
I checked my Safari Preferences and I see I have checked, under Security, Enable plug-ins, Enable Java, Enable JavaScript.I have to have Java enabled to run a few things.
Did something get corrupted in Safari?
Am I'm missing some plug-ins?
How do I get them back?
I'm going to search the internet. Well, after doing the search, I still don't think I've got what I need. Thinking I might need to reinstall Safari. If this is the case, will I loose all my Bookmarks?

Is there a recent security update for OSX version 10.6.8?

Is there a recent security update for OSX version 10.6.8?

I am getting more confused. I have Lion 10.7.5 and thought this would not be susceptible to SSL problem.
I also took Lanny's advice and went to "gotofail.com" and it said I was SAFE.
Can I assume I am OK?
Also,i have an ipod 4g and went to the same gotofail, and it also said I am safe. I have not udated the security patch as do not have sufficient space (need 2.7gig) but someone suggested a go around which I have not tried yet.
I am accessing the net via a Veiizon jet pak, and not using open networks.
Please comment

I just did the update and wound up having slightly more space available after the update was finished.

Why cant I install the latest update for galaxy note 2???

The latest update for the Verizon Note 2, which i guess is a Canada roaming update, can not install. keeps giving me an error message. Did everything, factory reset (which sucked), took out SIM, power down, etc. can i get rid of this alert?

@jacm79
I want to ensure you're able to enjoy the benefits of the latest software update for your Galaxy Note 2!
What is the exact error message you get when attempting the update? Are you connected to a WiFi hotspot or cellular data when attempting the update? Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!

WHY DOESNT NOKIE POST MORE FIRMWARE UPDATES FOR OT...

I AM NEW TO THIS BOARD AND HAVE FOUND THAT NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO UPDATE MY NOKIA 6230i (FIRMWARE AND RADIO SOFTWARE)I MEET A BRICK WALL.
IT SEEMS NOKIA ARENT INTERESTED IN GIVING YOU SUPPORT ONCE YOURE PHONE IS ANY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD.
THIS TO ME IS VERY UNFAIR AS I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF CASH ON THIS PHONE TRYING TO UPDATE VISUAL RADIO USING THE DIRECTIONS PROVIDED WITH NO SUCCESS AS THESE DIRECTIONS DO NOT WORK AS I CANT FIND ANYWHERE TO DOWNLOAD THE THE NEW VISUAL RADIO WHILEST ON WAP.
THIS TO DATE HAS COST ME £75 TRYING TO FIND THE LINK.
ALSO I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE 6230i AS I SEE THIS AS BEING FAIR AS EVERY OTHER MOBILE THAT IS BEING POSTED CAN BE UPDATED OVER THE AIR AND THROUGH SOFTWARE UPDATE.
WHY CANT MINE AND MANY OTHERS.
EVEN IF NOKIA POSTED THE LAST RELEASED FOR EVERY MOBILE EVEN FOR THE OLD ONES I WOULD BE VERY GREATFUL .
MY NOKIA HAS A VERY OLD FIRMWARE V3.40 THIS NOKIA KNOWS IS FULL OF BUGS AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR POSTING THE FIXES UNTILL THERE ARE NO BUGS TO SORT WITHOUT EXCESS COST OR HAVING TO VISIT A RECOMMENDED REPAIR DEALER.
I WANT IT FREE JUST LIKE THE NEXT GUY SO NOKIA POST THE FIRMWARES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I AM COMPLETELY FED UP WITH THIS FONE AND ITS BUGS.
YOURS SINCERELY
AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER

First of all, please locate the Caps Lock key of your keyboard; all upper case text is hard to read, and traditionally considered as shouting. Of course, you may already know that, and intended to shout.
Anyway, most phones do not have the built-in support for do-it-yourself firmware updates.
For such phones your options are (if you think you need a firmware update):
- Take/send the phone to an authorized Nokia service/repair center, where the update can be done.
- Buy relativelt expensive flashing equipment and locate illegally distributed firmware files and try it on your own with that.
My advise is to go for the former rather than the latter option. The former should cost you anything (at least not for as long as the phone is under warranty & excluding what it takes for you to go there).
As to downloading "THE NEW VISUAL RADIO WHILEST ON WAP", I don't know what you mean by that. I don't know a 6230i, but either it comes with Visual Radio built-in or not. Any updates/fixes to it would come with a firmware update, but not over WAP.
Note also that you don't need the Visual Radio service to listen to FM radio channels, and most radion stations do not support the "Visual" bit at all (if they do, the support is indicated in the station directory in the radio app on the phone).

Why not an official bash bug update for OSX
