Flash and Java attacks are now covered by the no-plugins policy. While the remaining vulnerable surface is non-zero, some of these attacks are harder to mount or impossible against PowerPC systems, and all would require using custom build tools to do so, so the practical risk is very low.<br /><br />With regard to Leopard WebKit and the Security framework updates, while I do not use 10.5 personally I know that Tobias is very conscientious, and I would not have any doubts about the safety or quality of his releases. Doing so will not affect TenFourFox since we use a separate certificate store and security library which is not dependent on the operating system.<br /><br />Java on all Power Mac systems is vulnerable to the Flashblock/Flashback privilege escalation exploit. As a result, TenFourFox will not run Java applets on pages you browse to, and you should only run signed Java applications when possible. That said, I also use G4FanControl on my iBook for the same reason, and the risk of getting malware in this manner (downloaded and doubleclicked rather than drive-by) is no greater than downloading and running any non-Java malware.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-68518986951998464262015-08-12T08:46:54.301-07:002015-08-12T08:46:54.301-07:00Thanks for making this old powerbook useful again,...Thanks for making this old powerbook useful again, you literally single handely brought new life to this powerbook and saved it from ending up in the dumpster (the planet also thanks you).<br /> <br /> I have a few questions:<br /> - I fixed the bash, sudo, and the other system preferences security flaw (I followed the instructions on your blog) is there any other security issue I should be concerned about?<br /><br /> - What's your opinion on leopard's webkit security certificates bash script update (the latest version of leopard webkit bring a command that is supposed to replace your certificates with the ones from os x 10.10)<br /><br /> - I have to run g4 fan control otherwise my powerbook fries itself, is it dangerous to have jse 5.0 activated?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615481050699057343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-41378199666893440562015-08-11T19:32:48.769-07:002015-08-11T19:32:48.769-07:00Oops.
