Well, Apple's released another Security Update. This one contains fixes for CoreServices (specifically the Finder), iChat, and the UserNotification Center.

 

They credited the MOAB guys for finding the bug in Finder.

 

Finder

 

CVE-ID: CVE-2007-0197

 

Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.8, Mac OS X Server v10.4.8

 

Impact: Mounting a maliciously-crafted disk image may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution

 

Description: A buffer overflow exists in Finder's handling of volume names. By enticing a user to mount a malicious disk image, an attacker could trigger this issue, which may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. A proof of concept for this issue has been published on the "Month of Apple Bugs" website (MOAB-09-01-2007). This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of disk images. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. Credit to Kevin Finisterre of DigitalMunition for reporting this issue.

 

Linky.

 

I have no idea if this one could break Hackintoshes. Someone more technical should test it out.

 

EDIT: Fixed the quote. It formatted itself weird when I pasted it in.

I shouldn't try on Hackintoshes.

 

There are also:

Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5

This update adds support for the latest Daylight Saving Time (DST) and time zone information as of January 8, 2007 and delivers improved reliability and compatibility for Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 and Java 1.4.

 

Daylight Saving Time Update (Tiger)

This update addresses recent changes in the way Daylight Saving Time will be observed in the U.S. and Canada beginning in March 2007 and includes the latest time zone information for the rest of the world.

 

WebObjects 5.3.3

This installer updates WebObjects 5.3 systems to observe the Daylight Saving Time (DST) and 2007 time zone changes as of January 8, 2007.

I don't think the CoreServices update would break a Hackintosh. All it does (supposedly) is add some more DMG checking in Finder.

 

I might wonder about the Daylight Savings one, since that seems like it would change some important stuff in the system itself.

I just tested on my AMD and it breaks, not sure about Intel.

 

But maybe is just the Finder

 

The other updates: Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5, Daylight Saving Time Update or WebObjects 5.3.3 don't break the system.

I've just installed all updated on my laptop: Toshiba m115-s3094

 

Everything seems to still work :thumbsup_anim:

 

Core duo 1.6

Intel 950GMA

Intel 945 chipset

Intel ICH7R-M southbridge

Hitachi 80GB SATA HD

 

Typing this reply in my OSX environment post update :)

Yup, nothing broken on my Mac mini Core Duo or my 12" Powerbook G4.

Fiewf, I was worried there! :thumbsup_anim:

 

I am with you, so concerned about my MacBook, lol.

Why hasn't this hit the front page yet?

 

NEWS TEAM IS SLOW!!!!!!!!! :angry::P:D

 

Nothing broken on my MBP, but I expected that. I trust Apple to make fixes and such work right on their own hardware, at least.

I totally agree. I don't even visit the front page of this site anymore because it's so pointless. It changes once every two weeks practically!

The news team seems non-existant to me... and when they take something from this board and make it "theirs" I never see blatant credit to whoever posted the original. I only check this forum for news... It's the most important!
