Apple releases Security Update 2005-007 v1.1, fixes 64-bit bug

On Tuesday, Apple released Security Update 2005-007, a significant package that included enhancements to a broad array of a Mac OS X components.

Apple has now released Security Update 2005-007 v.1.1, a revised version of the security patch that restores the ability to run native 64-bit applications.
