Let's wait until Apple release their patch so we know just how long they left everyone's machines vulnerable for. That will be a factor in determining whether this disclosure was irresponsible or not. It's been two and a half hours so far.

If Apple released a patch in less than 24 hours I’d be seriously concerned about the QA that had gone into the patch.

I guess you’re seriously concerned now ;)

I guess so. I hope they QA’ed it better than they did the previous version...

Apparently they broke an aspect of network file sharing with this quick-turnaround patch. Whoops.
