The Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update updates Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5 to version 10.5.1

The 10.5.1 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

For detailed information on security updates, please visit this website.

Important: Read before installing

• You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you’ve modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
• The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Support Downloads to update.
• It is recommended that you backup your system prior to installing any updates.
• If issues occur during installation–for example, Software Update quits unexpectedly–please see this article.

Installation

To update to Mac OS X 10.5.1, use Software Update or the standalone installer. You only need to use one of these methods to update your computer.

Software Update

Software Update, located in the Apple menu, will automatically check for the latest Apple software using the Internet. (Software Update might have linked you to this article to learn more about the update.) If your computer is not up to date, software updates for your computer will appear that you can install. Note that an update’s size may vary from computer to computer when installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be installed prior to others, so you should run Software Update more than once to make sure you have all available updates.

Standalone installer

Download the update installer and run it manually. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. These versions of the standalone installer are available from Apple Support Downloads.

• Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update updates Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.5.1.

Claims by an anonymous author that he was paid to create a worm targeting Mac OS X systems are turning into a soap opera-style farce. Infosec Sellout said his ‘Rape-OSX’ worm uses an undisclosed vulnerability in the mDNSResponder component of Mac OS X to spread.

Low-threat malware targeting Mac OS X systems is unusual, but far from unprecedented. Claims that the supposed author of the worm is being paid to create proof-of-concept malware lack credibility or rationale, aside from creating mischief.

Jobs: one more thing… a browser war
Steve Jobs has re-kindled the browser wars - only this time Firefox is in the firing line, as well as Microsoft. Apple’s CEO today opened his company’s developer conference in San Francisco, where he outlined an ambitious target to take over Firefox’s 15 per cent market share. How? By releasing a Windows version of Apple’s less-than-stellar Safari browser.

Mac developers also had their definitive answer on whether Apple will open up its newest baby - the iPhone. Nope, not in a million years… Only Apple engineers will be able to add native applications to the iPhone.

Instead, Jobs offered a “sweet” workaround: to run Web 2.0 applications, written with the “latest Web standards” such as Ajax, in the Safari web browser. He outlined his vision during a Monday morning WWDC keynote where he also outlined features for the latest incarnation of Mac OS X, Leopard. Leopard, due this fall around the same time as Firefox 3, will feature Safari 3, released to beta here.
