Apple has updated QuickTime to v7.1.6. This is primarily a response to the recently discovered exploit found during a competition for $10,000 via a browser.

QuickTime 7.1.6 delivers numerous bug fixes, addresses a critical security issue with QuickTime for Java and includes support for:
– Final Cut Studio 2
– Timecode and closed captioning display in QuickTime Player

There is currently no reason to suggest Hackint0sh users cannot update.

The previous Security Update has now been updated to include Airport fixes and to fix bugs introduced in the previous update. It is labeled Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 available only to 10.4.9 users for Tiger. The security had been updated for the following components:

AFP Client, AirPort, CarbonCore, diskdev_cmds, fetchmail, ftpd, gnutar, Help Viewer, HID Family, Installer, Kerberos, Libinfo, Login Window, network_cmds, SMB, System Configuration, URLMount, Video Conference, WebDAV

Hackint0sh precautions are most likely to be of the same likeness of the first Security Update.

Apple released a new security update today which includes several security improvements for the following components:

AFP Client, AirPort, CarbonCore, diskdev_cmds, fetchmail, ftpd, gnutar, Help Viewer, HID Family, Installer, Kerberos, Libinfo, Login Window, network_cmds, SMB, System Configuration, URLMount, Video Conference, WebDAV

To update a hackint0sh you should backup LoginWindow.app and CorbonCore.framework before updating and then reboot, any problems afterwards you may need to replace LoginWindow.app and for AMD users, CarbonCore.framework too.

 
10.4.9 Sources Unveiled

Apple has made public the source code for their latest Tiger update, Mac OS X 10.4.9, on their website. You can find all the available sources here. This means that the 8.9.1 kernel source is now available under the name xnu-792.18.15. This will allow for integration of SpeedStep capabilities now in the future. Sources for both x86 and PPC available.

Semthex also declared his departure from the OSx86 scene today and will be greatly missed. As many of you know he is one of the foremost kernel builders that has allowed for 8.8.1 and 8.9.1 to be made Hackint0sh compatible. Having passed on his knowledge he feels that his work is done. Many thanks to him and I encourage those of you that can to donate.

 
SpeedStepping SSE2 Kernel Completed

Semthex has done it again and brought SSE2 users on OS X 10.4.8 a kernel with full SpeedStep support. Of course this is most beneficial to Pentium M users but should prove useful for other mobile users. The kernel is of version 8.8.1 and is built from the open-source code and as such means no 8.9.1 is planned yet. You can find this in the #Kernel channel on the irc.moofspeak.net server.

Note: this will only bring SpeedStep functionality to supported CPUs, so if you are a Celeron M user for example and do not experience this feature usually you still won't get it.
