Software Update Server: "product file URL contains possible security violation"

Seeing those as well with our Lion SUS servers. Something may be up with Apple's service. If it doesn't clear up over night I'll log a support ticket.

I'm seeing the same thing on a 10.6.8 server. I've double checked my SUS settings to pull 10.7 updates, restarted SUS, and even fsck'd the boot volume; still happening. It's got to be something on Apple's end.

Same issue here with our Lion SUS server - our server in Brisbane is working perfect but the 2nd mac mini is showing this problem - all we've got redirected is the swscan internally. swcdn is left as is (using Google DNS as well) - A google search revealed nothing and then all of a sudden this post popped up when I did another search on google. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing the problems.

Same here, three different machines, Mac Mini Server, Mac Os X Server, Mac Pro, on three different locations, albeit all in Europe, and all on 10.6.8.

Thunderbolt upgrade got through, though on two of the three, so some of the updates are found. Seems someone at Apple need to fix their side of the deal.

Same problem here in log files.

In de Updates view I see that al updates from 06/11/12 has an error. start and stopping the sus will not help.

Server 10.6.8 providing also updates for lion and the location of the sus files is on another disk (inside xserve)

I have exactly the same problem which started yesterday, I am using Lion 10.7.4 in Sydney Australia.

Seeing this as well in North Carolina, USA.

Exact same issue here at Penn State. Multiple servers.

Yep, same here. Located in Minnesota, using Snow Leopard Server.

Hope this is fixed soon.

Response from Apple support (we're a big client):

Apple Support wrote:

I understand that that your Software Update Server is unable to download the new updates posted this week.

Apple has received multiple reports of this issue and is investigating. I will keep you updated as new information becomes available.

Same thing happening here in SoCal. Server 10.6.8.

Glad to see multiple people are experiencing this and someone has Apple's attention (kudos & thanks for informing us DysonJ). I'm having the same problem using 10.6.8. Also interestingly, I've been testing reposado on Linux and that server pulls down updates that my 10.6.8 SUS throws errors on. However, when I poll it with an OSX SU client, I don't see all the updates that I find in the catalogs/downloads directories.

Here's what my support rep said:

Thank you for the details and screen shot.

I've reproduced this issue on my end with a fresh software update server setup. I'm going to report this to product engineering, and when I have more information I will let you know.

Same here (Italy) !! Hopfully support will do a fast resolve for the problem!!!

I've got a little time before I release updates to the masses, but I hope this is fixed soon. 😝

I need to test my clients internally too.
