The release notes for the security update to El Capitan on December 6th do mention the issue even if the mention has been deleted from the website.

Happy Father’s Day. I wonder how many people here are fathers? I’m not.

Anybody got plans for the summer. Thursday is the solstice in our hemisphere.
