Brief Hands-On Report--Apple released Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 Only for Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Client) and 10.4.9 (Server)

Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 for Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Client) and 10.4.9 (Server), Universal and PowerPC, is now available via Software Update or as stand-alone files from this Apple Web page. Note that this update is not needed for Mac OS X 10.4.9 (Client) nor 10.3.9 (Server).

It includes the contents of the recent Security Update 2007-004, plus the following fixes:

AirPort (Mac OS X v10.3.9)--This update corrects an issue where the AirPort connection may be lost after waking from sleep. This issue only affects Mac OS X v10.3.9 (client) with Security Update 2007-004.

FTPServer (CVE-2007-0745 for Mac OS X Server v10.4.9)--Security Update 2007-004 applied an incorrect ftp configuration file for Mac OS X Server v10.4.9 systems. Users with ftp access, who would normally be restricted to certain directories, may be able to access directories outside the normal scope. This update addresses the issue by restoring the correct version of the ftp configuration file. This issue only affects Mac OS X Server v10.4.9 with Security Update 2007-004.

We downloaded and installed Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 on our PowerMac G4 Cube running Mac OS X 10.4.9 Server. We had already installed SU 2007-004 on it. The installation went fine and we noticed no problems with our office server as a result of doing so. [Bill Fox]
