Q: Do I need to upgrade from Mavericks ?
I am very happy with OSX Mavericks. I especially don't want to part with the nice 3D dock. (I hate the flat doc in the newer OS) I also don't want to see changes in the way the OS works now because I am so used to it after 3 years. Are there any security risks with staying with Mavericks? How do I go about patching my current Mavericks to have all the latest fixes without having it upgrade me to El Capitan? The finder reports my OS as 10.9.5.
One more thing, there is a new security alert out today for:
CVE-2016-4654, CVE-2016-4655, and CVE-2016-4656
Does this only affect El Capitan and Yosemite? Do I need to find a patch for Mavericks?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
