Apple has released a security update today called Security Update 2004-08-09. The sparse release notes say that the file updates libpng (Portable Network Graphics). Those release notes:
Security Update 2004-08-09 delivers a number of security enhancements and is recommended for all Macintosh users. This update includes the following components:
- libpng (Portable Network Graphics)
Apple is providing a link to a KBase article on security updates, but as of this writing, that article has no information on Security Update 2004-08-09.
In addition to this security update, Apple released Mac OS X 10.3.5. TMO has confirmed that the update includes this security patch. You can download the update through Software Update Control Panel, and the download weighs in at 1 MB. Some readers have reported that the update is not available once you install 10.3.5.
Observer Comments
Just updated both using system preferences. First to download and update was the Security Patch, then OS X.
All seems to be going well. I did my"big" test - VPC - and yet again Apple has managed an upgrade that didn't screw it, or my Win apps, up - something that appears to be difficult for MS. Both 98 & XP appear to be working fine - or as fine as they can . . .
