Security Update 2007-009 v1.oops!
An update of the latest update is now out for OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.1, Intel and PPC.

They say this is only to correct a problem with Safari crashing on certain websites. However, it should be remembered that they do not report major security flaws to the public, "for the protection of our customers," they say. IOW, if there were a major flaw, and we don't do the security update, we likely won't know until our security has been compromised. So presumably, it's best to just bite the bullet and do as we're told (ugh!). Yeah, maybe it's just Safari like they say, in which case, I wouldn't care or even notice. Or maybe it's some enormous flaw just begging for hacker exploits. Or maybe they've got some hot new stealth nannyware lurking within the update. Who knows. We may love our 'puters, but Apple is still Corporate America, after all...

So, I'm customarily ambivalent, but I'll be updating, and you probably should too.

There had been some reports of the first update (2007-009) causing MacBook keyboard seizures, but I've seen a few reports that it's been fixed in this update-update. We'll see.

Use Software Update as usual, or download standalone installers from:

Security Update 2007-009 1.1 (10.4.11 Universal) - 27.4 MB
Security Update 2007-009 1.1 (10.4.11 PPC) - 15.9 MB
Security Update 2007-009 1.1 (10.5.1) - 35.6 MB

Oh, while browsing, I also noticed this recent addition:

"MacBook, MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1 12/18/2007 979 KB
This update addresses a responsiveness issue on MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers."

Good luck...and Merry Whatever!
