Revised Security Update 004 and QT CanSecWest fix released

Those of you in the habit of waiting a week or two to apply Apple's updates may now begin to snicker in satisfaction. A revised version of the 004 security update was released this afternoon, correcting two issues (Airport problems in 10.3.9 and FTP settings on Mac OS X Server). We linked to MacFixit's troubleshooting report for the original update late last week.

Also released: QuickTime 7.1.6, which applies to both Mac OS X and Windows deployments and closes the Java exploit used to win the CanSecWest $10,000 challenge. As expected, researcher Dino Dai Zovi and the Zero Day Initiative/Tipping Point are credited with the discovery of the vulnerability. The ZDI writeup notes that the time from discovery to patch was eight days... not all that bad.

I was hoping this would fix my problem but it hasn't.

Someone please tell me if if this isn't a problem just something thats not possible. I have an iMac connected wirelessly to a new Linksys G router. I want to stream movies downstairs to my macbook connected to the tv and potentially an Apple TV (wirelessly as well). I thought this would work, but 80 % of the time it doesn't. Is something wrong or is this just not possible all wireless.

now I'm hesitant to apply this update, because I went ahead with the other one and it completely messed up my airport and proxy settings. Anyone else have those problems?

8 days is not too shabby at all.
