Security Update 2008-003 hits the streets
After releasing all the updates today, Apple still wasn't finish as they just released a Security Update, version 2008-003. In regular Apple wordiness the description reads "improves the security of OS X." Apple released 4 flavors of this update for different systems:
- Security Update 2008-003 (Intel)
- Security Update 2008-003 (PPC)
- Security Update 2008-003 Server (Universal)
- Security Update 2008-003 Server (PPC)
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
Update: as some people in the comments have noted, this Security Update is for those who have not upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.3. If you have upgraded, you do not need to install this update.

I was able to easily find it and install it via Software Update. It's also available as a standalone installer. But I wasn't able to find it anywhere on the streets. What street corner should people look? Any particular neighborhood, or street names where it might be available? Is it "hitting the streets" only in certain urban areas?

And just so everyone knows, this is also for Tiger. The Power PC version on my B&W G3 clocks in at 73.8mb. Running it now, and then on to my pismo.

"this update is duplicitous of the security refinements in Mac OS X 10.5.3, and is therefore unnecessary if you have applied Mac OS X 10.5.3."
"this update is duplicitous..."
Is a duplicitous security update a good thing? :-)
Their (MacFixit) word. Not mine. I would have said: "Zealously Overdiscombobulated" :-P
May 29 2008 at 9:49 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWas this included in the 10.5.3 update today? Software Update doesn't seem to think that I need it.
May 28 2008 at 10:16 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYes! I wasn't clearon this either but reading the docs cleared it up (that and it refused to install on my BlackBook)
