Whats this mean to me a regular non business iMac owner that recently upgraded to the High Siera 10.13.1

Dont know why i do these updates and should stop


No, don’t stop. In fact if you upgraded to 10.13.1, launch the App Store app and go to the updates section. Apple just released a security patch update to fix this High Sierra security problem.

It seems to be the case with all software as it versions forward; things get fixed and things that were fixed get broken. You want to live with a software release that is pretty current, as a lot of software just won’t run if you’re using an OS that is too old.

On the other hand, you might not want to live right on the very latest release the moment it is released. No matter how much release testing is done, once a new version is released to the public that’s when the real testing begins with the myriad configurations running out in the real world.

Personally, after a major software release, like 10.13, I like to hang back for a few months to see how the release works in the real world. I was almost actually going to make the jump from 10.12.6 to 10.13.1, figuring there had already been the .1 upgrade within 10.13. In this case the .1 upgrade introduced the bug. *sigh*

Thanks I looked this AM and saw no Sec Update and figured it didn’t affect me. Went in just after my post and saw the update and completed it a few minutes ago.
