Delta-9 writes "Today, Apple released Security Update 2003-08-14, which 'addresses a potential vulnerability in the fb_realpath() function which could allow a local or remote user to gain unauthorized root privileges to a system.'" It's on Software Update, and will likely soon appear on the support downloads page.

    Nice to see Apple is responding more quickly to security problems. I didn't even hear about this through my regular channels until after I had seen the update in Software Update.
