Security Update 2008-001 (Universal)

BrianB — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:07:17 +0000

I’m still using Tiger and just about to download the first security update for 2008. This is a security update for both PowerPC and Intel Macbooks.

One of these updates is a fix for ” buffer overflow Directory Services that could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.” Apparently applications can arbitrarily launched on Mail by typing “file:// URLs” in the message.

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update Fixes Now 130

BrianB — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:03:10 +0000

Though the Mac OS X 10.5.2 build 9C27 is stable, the Leopard team has added more “refinements” to the update. It has grown from 100 fixes to 130. Not escaping these “improvements” are Leopard features: Time Machine, Finder sidebar, desktop backgrounds, iChat’s Bluetooth functionality, , and disk space management.

Features added are list view for Stacks, remote disc optical drive sharing (think: MacBook Air) and Time Capsule backup appliance.
