Security Update 2006-003
Apple also released Security Update 2006-003 today (which, if you're counting, is the third such security update for this year). This update includes files for both server and client editions of OS X, as well as files for OS X 10.3.9 through OS X 10.4.6.This fixes a host of security issues, so I won't list them here but if you are interested check out the tech note.
Update: Brent points out, correctly, that there have been 9 security updates so far this year, however, I was correct in that this is the third OS specific update of the year. Don't you just like it when everyone is right?

The update "Security Update 2006-003 (Intel)" can't be installed.
Sorry, an unexpected error occured.
This is being displayed on my brand new MacBook Pro 15" (18th week). What gives?

Saft no longer works with Safari after the update. Be warned.

I can't believe I have to say this again, but DON'T INSTALL THIS UPDATE yet. I just installed it (along with Front Row and Quicktime) on my Macbook and now it hangs while booting.

Update:
There's a good change this will freeze your mac if you have Adobe VersionCue installed. I'd advise not installing it at all right now, but if you already have and you get a hang on startup, do this: Boot in Safe Mode (hold down shift during boot); go to Macintosh HD/library/startupitems and delete versioncue. Reboot. And curse Apple for having inept software engineers.

I confirm that the update hangs a MacBook Pro. I'll check the Version Cue tip, thanks :)

Removing VersionCue works on my MacBook Pro. I also had to reinstall another startup item -- DoubleCommand. Waiting for Apple to fix this...

I had to use target-disk-mode to get into my system and delete the Version Cue startup files. Darn thing wouldn't even boot into safe-mode.

Kudos to Coachzed. My MacBook Pro is back to booting normally.
Shame on Apple for not testing with this. I think we'll see an update soon.
So unless you did a backup right before installing Security Updates (which I plan to do now in the future), how does one remove a Security Update that is already installed? or is there a way?

i have a problem with unrarx... the freeze problem was solved with the removal of version cue, but everytime I use unrarx my 20" imac core duo freezes.

The freezes not only happen with Adobe stuff or startup items. Other applications may trigger the freezes as well. When my system freezes, the mouse still moves, the windowing system is dead, the system reacts to ping still (so the kernel is still working) but I cannot log in with a remote shell (ssh) so at least some services are down.
Let's hope Apple soon fixes this.
