Katie MarsalApple on Monday released its ninth security patch of 2007, mending several web-related flaws in Mac OS X Leopard and its Tiger predecessor.
The CUPS printing service, Safari, and Samba (SMB) networking are also key focuses of the update, Apple says. Essential OS components such as Core Foundation and Launch Services have been upgraded for all versions of Mac OS X receiving the patch.
Additional fixes are included depending on the operating system in question. Leopard receives a security upgrade to the Quick Look feature in its version of Finder, while Tiger sees fixes to Address Book, ColorSync, iChat, Mail, and Spotlight.
Mac OS X Server is not yet included in the list of software requiring the update.

Also Logic 8.0.1 as well, which I'm WAY more excited about.
Yes! I have been waiting for this since the installation of Abode Flash Player. My Safari has been constantly quitting and requires re launching. Hope this will finally put an end to it
any security update is a good update
Also Logic 8.0.1 as well, which I'm WAY more excited about.
where is logic express 8.0.1?
Mac OS X Server is included - the same security updates work on both client and server editions of Mac OS X.
I'd have thought that some of these problems might affect 10.3.9 as well. The lack of a corresponding security update for 10.3.9 might be a sign that 10.3.9 support is being phased out, though there was the QuickTime 7.3.1 update for Panther less than a week ago.
