Friday December 19, 2003 6:53 pm PST by Arnold Kim
Apple has released a 2003-12-19 Security Update in your Mac OS X Software Update. This update is recommended for all Macintosh users:



This update includes the following components: AFP Server, ASN.1 Decoding for PKI, cd9660.util, Directory Services, fetchmail, fs_usage, rsync. and System Initialization.



For more information: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n61798



Apple also posted an update to the Quicktime 6 MPEG-2 Component (also in Software Update). Users who had previous purchased the Quicktime MPEG-2 Component had found that the previous version had (inadvertently?) expired on Dec 15th.

That's a lot of updates, and a lot of updates requiring a restart ;-)

Also, the 10.3.2 server update is posted

I bet apple wanted to wait till they figured out the security update before they released the server update, hence the delay compared to panther client.

Screw that...I'll take my chances and wait until I have to restart for something else. I'm sick of restarting for software updates.

There sure has been a lot of Security Fixes lately. And here I was getting envious of the PC users. :D

I've noticed that more people have been reporting security holes to Apple than before. Does this mean the Mac OS is reaching a larger audience than ever before? ;)

Ran the update. Only 1.5 MB, not a big deal.
