Security Update 2007-007 released
The latest in security updates. Install carefully!
Published Tuesday, July 31st
Apple has released Security Update 2007-007, in six delicious flavors:
Security Update 2007-007 (10.3.9). Addresses recently discovered security issues in bzip2, CFNetwork, Core Audio, cscope, gnuzip, Kerberos, PHP, samba, WebKit, and WebCore. Incorporates Security Updates 2007-005 and 2007-2006. For those running system 10.3.9.
Security Update 2007-007 (10.3.9 Server). Like the non-server version, with changes to SquirrelMail.
Security Update 2007-007 (10.4.10 PPC). Like the 10.3.9 update, with fixes also for security issues in mDNSResponder, PDFKit, and QuartzComposer. Incorporates Security Update 2007-2006. Aimed at PowerPC-based Macs only. For those running system 10.4.10. If you have not updated to 10.4.10, this security update is not available to you.
Security Update 2007-007 (10.4.10 Server PPC). Like the non-server version, with changes to SquirrelMail and Tomcat.
Security Update 2007-007 (10.4.10 Universal). Like the corresponding PPC update. Despite the name "universal", it is actually not universal at all: it is aimed at Intel-based Macs only. (We do hope Apple will soon give up this misleading and unwarranted bending of the language, where "universal" becomes a synonym for "Intel".) For those running system 10.4.10. If you have not updated to 10.4.10, this security update is not available to you.
Security Update 2007-007 (10.4.10 Server Universal). Like the non-server version, with changes to SquirrelMail and Tomcat.
