Security Update 2007-009 for Leopard now available

If you've been wondering when we'd see a security update for Mac OS X Leopard: you can stop holding your breath. Apple has just pushed out Security 2007-009 for Mac OS X 10.5.1. So what's been fixed? According to the release notes:
  • Core Foundation
  • Flash Player Plug-in
  • Quick Look
  • Safari
  • Shockwave Plug-in
  • and plenty more
The update, which as ever is recommended for everyone running the latest big cat, weighs in at 35.6MB. If you're wanting to go ahead and install the update without waiting, you'll want to run over to the Apple Support site and grab the file, or simply run Software Update on your system. As with all OS X updates, we'd strongly suggest you have a working backup before installing on any mission-critical system.

When I installed the 2007-009 security update for 10.5.1 I saw a blank screen and the disc did not start up. I had to repair the hardrive, which was messed up by the update.

I installed the latest update and while everything works great, the update did overwrite my debug version of the flash player with the normal version. It would be nice if Apple were to inspect whether or not you had the debug version installed and update the correct version instead of replacing this version with the normal version. That was a good 20 minutes spent working out why my debug output disappeared.

Sketchup has stopped working for me, as has Software Update (oh the irony!)

A reinstall, repair permissions etc hasn't solved the problem.

"No idea if this update caused the problem, but just after I installed it Saft 10.0.2 stopped working. I upgraded to Saft 10.0.3, but still get the same error message, saying this version of Safari isn't supported and that Saft won't run."

Safari was updated in the release so it probably was caused by this patch.

I wonder if this update has a negative impact on hacked iPhones. Does anybody know?

Hey, I'm just curious why you provide the link for somebody to download the file when anyone can more easily just run Software Update. Why do people even need that option?

Downloading the update is good if you have several macs on your local network and don't want to pull the file down across your internet connection for each and every mac...

I get the same with saft, I remember reading somewhere of an unsupported way to break the version check. Can anyone point??

after i installed this my itunes volume decreased dramatically. The volume on my mac and itunes are both all the way up. The mp3s play normally in quicktime but in itunes the volume is drastically decreased.
