Security Update 2008-005

Apple has just released a new security update for client and server users of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (Intel and PPC), Mac OS X 10.4 Server (Intel ve PPC) and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. This Security update 2008-005 is “recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X,” and includes fixes for a dozen or so features in Mac OS X.
This update fixes a QuickLook bug where loading a malicious Microsoft Office file could lead to “arbitrary code execution.” Doesn’t sound too good to me! It also fixes a DNS vulnerability that has been highly discussed over the past week (and which many other vendors have already patched). It fixes 12 security bugs (includes BIND bug) totally.
You can download this update by opening Software Update (Apple menu > Software Update). You can also find more information on what this update fixes by looking at Apple’s support note. This update requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4.
