I received a news article by RSS a few days ago about a new security vulnerability in Ubuntu which allowed someone to gain access to your PC. Since then I have been looking for a security update. (I check Install Updates at least once a day.) Since reading this article, I have not been offered a security update. There was a link in the article to Ubuntu which offered a link to the update. I did not use it because I thought I would get it the usual way in a few days.
Was the article out of date and we already have that update or should I have gotten the patch from the Ubuntu website or just be patient until it is offered the usual way?
(I know my paranoia is showing.
It comes from too many years using Windows and being abandoned by Apple support because I have an iMac PPC* instead of an Intel Mac.)
