So we currently have 2 local privilege escalation exploits [1] available for Mac OSX. Apple appears to be in no rush to fix the first one, I wouldn't bet my money on this vulnerability getting a fix any time soon, either ...
It's encouraging that of these two major bugs, both didn't work in El Capitan. Not claiming that it's going to be some sort of panacea; I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it gets exploited too. But it's still encouraging.

But start the mac hate train regardless - if facts don't count :)

As it was clearly stated, there is a fix. Whether or not they'll release a 10.10 patch remains to be shown, and "no rush" is speculation.
I'll never understand the HN crowd, but I guess providing additional information to clear up a false statement, while correcting OPs assumptions is against the rules.
10.10.3, which includes that fix, was released 3 days ago. I'll never understand the HN crown, whining about the HN crowd while you didn't bother googling before writing your rant.
I didn't know there was a 10.10.3 patch - I never said there wasn't. OP said there wasn't, I said it remains to be shown. You're more than welcome to correct me on that.
I don't understand what my patch sentence has to do with whining - or how that is whining about the HN crowd?
It's still unclear what was unwanted about my original comment, so I can't really correct my behavior (which was what I wanted all along).
