For your downloading pleasure, A le presents Security Update 2006-008 ( C and UB). Both weigh in at under 2MB and require Mac OS X 10.4.8 (client or server). You can grab this patch from A le's downloads page or from Software Update.According to A le, this patch "improves the security of Quartz Composer and QuickTime for Java." ecifically, it patches a vulnerability that may lead to "information disclosure" when visiting a malicious we ite (aka phishing site). Complete details on the flaw can be found in A le's Kbase.
Mike and I were curious about why there's both a C and a UB version. Seems redundant since UB mea it works on both C and Intel. Tur out it's not truly "universal." As Mike noticed first, the System Requirements state that it's Universal for 10.4.8 Server, but 10.48 Client is Intel-only. Hence the standalone C-only download (which can be used on client or server.) Would still be nice to streamline this a bit more.
Faithful guinea pigs, please report your experience with this update below!
