Malicious Flash content could allow a machine to be taken over, and Apple has updated Tiger to use version 9.0.47.0 of Flash Player, which is also available separately.
Many of the security updates are rather important, fixing six kernel-level bugs. The list of security updates and bug fixes is long. Mac OS X 10.3 PantherĪlso received a revised security update – 2007-008 – for its terminal 10.3.9 release ( client, 49 MB server, 63.4 MB). That last update would take 18 hours to download over a dial-up modem or 3 minutes via a home fiber link. The updates are mammoth: update for PowerPC (67.9 MB), combo update for PowerPC (180.8 MB), update for Intel (128 MB), and combo update for Intel (321.5 MB). Safari 3 has been released for Tiger, along with a host of security updates and bug fixes, as part of the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update.
