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Was the article out of date and we already have that update or should I have gotten the patch from the Ubuntu website or just be patient until it is offered the usual way?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.)
* as well as this Linux computer[table] [tr] [td][/td][/tr][/table]
