When I reported the bug I thought it might be a security issue and I
still think it might. In my case the window opened spontaneously and I
got notification of updates but when I closed that window without
updating and clicked on update manager to deliberately open the window
and check for updates I got message that there were no updates. This
happened twice and the second time I made certain that to close the
spontaneously opened window without updating but still, when I myself
opened update manager, I got notification there were no updates .
Has someone (big if) found a way to mimic the update window? If so it
can be used it to spoof us into downloading malicious software. Even
if they don't use it for this purpose it implies a possible weakness in
system security. But I emphasize that I don't know if this is indeed
the case.
Other than that I have no idea of what is happening.
