by , 7:15 PM EDT, May 28th, 2008

Apple has posted Security Update 2008-003 for pre-10.5.3 systems. The updates are already folded into the OS X Leopard Update 10.5.3 released earlier on Wednesday, so users who have applied the 10.5.3 update need not apply the Security Update 2008-003.

The Security Update 2008-003 is applicable to Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.5.2. It is available at Apple's download page. A history of Apple's security fixes is found in KB article # HT1222.

The update varies in size by machine type and OS client or server and is between 72 and 118 MB.

The details of the security items fixed are as follows:

AFP Server
CVE-ID:  CVE-2008-1027
Available for:  Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.2, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.2
Impact:  Files that are not designated for sharing may be accessed
remotely
Description:  AFP Server did not check that a file or directory to be
served was inside a folder designated for sharing. A connected user
or guest may access any files or folders for which they have
permission, even if not contained in folders designated for sharing.
This update addresses the issue by denying access to files and
folders that are not inside a folder designated for sharing. Credit

unsafe content types
Description:  This update extends the system's list of content types
that will be flagged as potentially unsafe under certain
circumstances, such as when they are downloaded from a web page.
While these content types are not automatically launched, if manually
opened they could lead to the execution of a malicious payload. This
update improves the system's ability to notify users before handling
content types used by Automator, Help, Safari, and Terminal. On Mac
OS X v10.4 this functionality is provided by the Download Validation
feature. On Mac OS X v10.5 this functionality is provided by the
Quarantine feature. Credit to Brian Mastenbrook for reporting this
issue.
