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.

Was this included in the 10.5.3 update today? Software Update doesn't seem to think that I need it.

Yes! I wasn't clearon this either but reading the docs cleared it up (that and it refused to install on my BlackBook)

From Maxfixit:
"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

This isn't showing up in my Software Update. I have already grabbed 10.5.3 and the RAW camera support update.

It's a 111 MB update, so does that mean that the 198 MB 10.5.3 update was actually only 87 MB of code corrections and 111 MB of security updates?

No. One is for Tiger, the other is for Leopard.

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.

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?
