Security Update 2005-008

There's a new Security Update in the queue if you run Software Update: Security Update 2005-008, which is supposed to include: ImageIO, LibSystem, Mail, QuickDraw, Ruby, SecurityAgent and securityd. More info found here.

A word of warning, though: Security Updates have been . . . problematic in the past for some people, and one of our readers, Sean, writes in with this warning about this update: "Got home today and saw a Security Update in Software Update. Went through it, told me to restart, and I did. When I logged in after the reboot, it asked me for my Keychain password for "System". I entered it, and it told me I was wrong. Tried again, same thing. Tried again, and now I've entered the "wrong" one too many times. I guess this update makes my system so secure that it is unusable :) Might want to warn TUAW users to hold off on the update, if this happens to anyone else."

Thanks, Sean, and good luck! UPDATE: Well, it worked fine for me and several other users in the comments. Also, there's an iPod updater too.

I have the same system password problem after the update. Although I can still get rid of it by hitting cancel it is still alarming...

I too waited a few days with the Software Update, for any fixes/updates. After I updated, I ran into the System Keychain-Password situation. My passowords didn't work and hitting cancel only solved the problem until I rebooted or restarted. After checking my Keychains for any pertinent info and seeing as I was being prompted for a password that was Airport related, I check and saw I didn't have my wireless network password to my Keychain (you know, accessed thru 192.198.0.1 for me). So I added it to my Keychain and no problems, even after reboots, restarts, power off to on and Cocktail.
