Mac OS X v10.5.8 Ready For Download

Posted by timothy on from the upgrades-are-for-wimps dept.

mysqlbytes writes "Apple has posted an anticipated v10.5.8 patch for Mac OS X, updating a number of components in the operating system, one of their last updates to Leopard. The update brings improvements to Safari, Airport, Bluetooth, among others and rolls out the latest OS X security fixes." Worth glancing at are some of the security-related notes on the update.

  1. BIND vulnerability not fixed? by HSpirit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I can't see any reference to the latest BIND vulnerability being fixed by Apple in the Mac OS X Server. It's vulnerable and has been fixed by other vendors so why not?

  2. One must wonder, by WiiVault · · Score: 4, Interesting

    if Leopard will have a long support life since it is the final revision to support Power PC. As an owner of a a few G5's I sure hope so.

  3. Safari Scrolling Issues by xrayspx · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Anyone have any word on the Safari scrolling bugs? It's been a problem since 4.0 (but not with the betas), described and there.

    I'll install it, but this takes a day or so to manifest usually. I didn't see anything jump out in the patch notes, but they're kind of sparse on the details anyway.
