[float=right]Apple has posted Security Update 2008-007 which is available via Software Update and the Apple downloads page. The update is available for both client and server editions of Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard.
The update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Apache, ColorSync, CUPS, the Finder, libsxslt, Networking, and Quicklook, as well as MySQL, launchd, PHP and Tomcat. If you fancy a bit of light reading the complete list (support.apple.com/kb/HT3216) can be found on the Apple support page.
Let us know if you have tried this update with AMD systems and whether or not it breaks the OS. Does it require Zephyroth's AMD Software Updater or Marvin's Utility?
