Security update 2007-007 and smbd (still version 3.0.10???)

Security update 2007-007 says it fixes CVE-2007-2446, 2447, and 2407. Yet after installation smbd -V still shows it running version 3.0.10. Does Apple maintain it's own version of the source than Samba.org? I would have thought this version would be at least 3.0.25b ?
thanks for any insight.

Welcome, again, to Apple Discussions.
I don't use TextEdit myself, or work much in RTF, so some of your more technical descriptions are lost on me. However, here are a couple of suggestions:
Try starting up in Safe Mode. Here is what Safe Booting does: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
My second suggestion is to use Pacifist to extract TextEdit from the install disk and install it on your computer.
Please post back with update or further questions.
Good luck.

Security update 2007-007 gives TextEdit & RTF file error ?

I am having trouble editing RTF files using TextEdit and I think the Security Update 2007-007 is the culprit, but have no idea how to fix this.
I have repaired permission via disk utility, but this did not fix the problem.
When I use TextEdit to edit existing RTF files, the file is brought up into the window, but the contents are in its raw format. The TextEdit window has:
{\rtf1\mac\ansicpg10000\cocoartf102
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset77 Arial-BoldMT;\f1\froman\fcharset77 Times-Bold;\f2\froman\fcharset77 Times-Italic;
\f3\froman\fcharset77 Times-Roman;\f4\froman\fcharset77 TimesNewRomanPSMT;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
and so on for the file.
If I edit this same file with Safari, the xxx.rtf file comes up nicely formatted.
I am able to see that the Security Update 2007-007 was installed on
2007-08-14 23:02:04 -0500: Installed "QuickTime" (7.2)
2007-08-14 23:04:28 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2007-007" (1.0)
As per the software update log file.
Also, I see that the TextEdit application file was changed at around same time:
ls -l /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents:
drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin 136 17 Aug 07:41 MacOS
everything else in the directory has a 2003 date on it.
Inside MacOS directory is the TextEdit binary, which also has the same new modification date.
I grabbed a TextEdit binary from another machine (a G3 running 10.3.9) that has not had the security update on it and replaced my TextEdit, and after rebooting just to make sure it was not running an in memory copy, the problem still persists.
The sum for the broken TextEdit is: 30845 128 TextEdit.broken
Also, if I create a new file with TextEdit and edit it (bold, underline, etc) and save as an RTF file and then close the file. When I re-open the file, the file comes up as raw garbage.
So, TextEdit is dead. Any ideas how to revive it?
thanks

AirPort problem after installing Security Update 2007-007

Help! I installed the security update 2007-007 on my Mac mini os x and now my AirPort is not detecting any signal. Should I backup the system and then reboot? I'm not really sure what to do. I have tried almost everything I can imagine. I checked through the user logs and all was functioning properly until the update installed. All of the settings for the network and internet connect say that they have failed.
Please help! I am not particularly familiar about backing up -- how do I do this? (please spell out for me, I'm really new to mac!)
Thanks in advance

Can't help with the airport problem, since I don't do wireless. As for backing up, these should get you pointed in the right direction:

Is Security Update 2007-007 OK to install?

Mac Pro Intel, 10.4.10 with current firmware updates.
Thought I'd better check here first to see if this security update is OK to install. Security Update 2007-007
Thanks in advance
Craig

Thanks both of you. I update a clone drive every couple of days or so, but still, any downtime because of a buggy update, or worse some stealth code embedded in the update, would drive me crazy. I'll wait on 10.5 because I want to make sure that my primary apps (like photoshop CS3) are fully tested. Like they say "the first one through the pass gts hit by the most arrows:-))
cheers

Security Update 2007-007 in the wild

Just finished installing Security Update 2007-007. Fixes a couple of real nasties this time. Catch is it only installs on 10.3.9 and 10.4.10 so if you have not updated to 10.4.10 yet you're leaving yourself open to some very real security issues.
Follow the good advice given here by various gurus in preparing for and update and you'll be fine.

hm, what happens if i installed that and the only update left is the 10.4.10 update.
i didnt realize this was an issue aswell this very unbecoming and peculiar.
(maybe these errors people experience are intentional somehow - force to get leopard lol j/k)

Mail and Safari crashes after Security Update 2007-006 and update 10.4.10

I just installed Security Update 2007-006 (Universal) and Mac OS X Update (Intel) 10.4.10 and now neither Mail nor Safari (nor sometimes Microsoft Messanger) will start. They just crash immediately after starting. Safari started working for a short while, but now, again, it won't start either, and Mail has not opened once since installing these two updates without immediately crashing. Does anyone have any idea why that might be so or how I can fix it?

Hi Barry,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. I never installed Safari 3 beta. I ran the repair disk and repair permissions from my install DVD, and did it did find and fix errors. I also deleted com.apple.safari.plist as suggested, but neither Safari nor Mail will open yet without crashing immediately (I've also rebooted since doing so). Additionally, I found a suggestion on another website to try installing "Mac OSX Update Combo 10.4.10"--Software Update installed the non-combo version, whatever that means, but the Combo installer app also crashes when I try to start it. Do you have any other suggestions? What other information can I give that could help? These problems only occurred after my reboot this morning after installing the OSX and security updates. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Security update 2007-005 and Imovie problem

Yesterday my macbook automatically installed security update 2007-005. I later opened Imovie HD 6 and found a problem - when opening, the program title etc was shown in the desktop menu but then the last movie I worked on started to open, putting the opening picture directly onto the top left of the desktop over everything else including the menu. The Imovie page then opened on top of this, with a blank Imovie screen. To get the movie into the screen I have to start the movie running. Imovie then seems to work OK but this leaves fragments of the first screenshot of the movie still on the desktop until overwritten by other programs or actions. What can I do about it?

Hi
Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?

I haven't got a problem myself, BTW)

Security update 2007-005 and airport connection

Please help. I downloaded the security update 2007 005 on my powerbook G4 Friday night. Now I cannot get on my airport. It says there was an error joining the airport network (name of my airport) It gives me 2 options try again
or ok. i have tried everything. I even tried pinging my pc that I am on now to email this to see if I could connect with anything.But the powerbook fails to send any ping. I have rebooted, both the airport and the powerbook--several times. I have looked for information
everywhere about this both in Mac Help on my computer and online and have turned up nothing that can fix this unless I want to reinstall the operating system.
My only conclusion is that the security update did this. I was online (of course) as I downloaded the update and ever since I can not get online with the airport. Thank heavens I have a PC to get email or maybe get help through a forum like this. I have been trying to fix this all weekend. In system preferences /network status it says airport is turned on but not connected to a network when there is one. Any advice?
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have a same problem, everything worked fine until I've downloaded security update. My Airport doesn't allow me to connect to my PASSWORD protected network. My PC is working fine. The only way is to be connected to open source. Called Mac support and they blame router (it is not mac's router). Their suggestion is to reinstall whole system (and lose software I payed for) or buy new router (macs????). So I am stuck. The advice by apple support was NOT to download updates!!!!Why on Earth do they have them????

Security Update 2008-007 and RDC 2.0.0

After I installed Security Update 2008-007 today, I have been unable to run MS Remote Desktop Connection for Mac 2.0.0 to a Windows XP computer on my network. I get the message that I was disconnected from the Windows computer. Before installing the update, I had no such difficulty. The Windows computer itself is running and has network connectivity otherwise (Internet, etc.), so the problem does not appear to be at the Windows end of the connection. No settings have been changed on either computer in the interim. I have repaired permissions and rebooted, but that did not help. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have had the same issue, but it had nothing to do with the Security Update. My problem was the the Remote Connection failed to terminate the last time I used it. So each time I would try to login from then on, it immediately rejected the login and disconnected me. I ended up having to wait about 5 minutes for it to clear itself. I have also had to reboot the PC to clear up the connection. May not be the answer you are looking for, but might be something to think on.

Instant crash with USB headphones after Security Update 2007-007 install

Hi all,
I'm having problems with my Mini after installing the 2007-007 security update. Specifically I get the grey panic screen of death almost immediately after I plug in my Sennheiser USB headphones. It doesn't seem to matter which USB port I plug it into, I get the panic screen immediately. It also appears to happen only on my mac mini, I have a 1st gen. Macbook Pro that is unaffected.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or whether I'll just have to wait for an update to rectify this.

Same exact problem with MacBookPro and usb headphones sennheiser pc35 usb.
The same headphones work flawlessly on a Powerbook G4 15inch 1.67GHz.
Any suggestions ?

System problems after Security Update 2007-007 install

Hello all,
I am having problems with my computer after installing the 2007-007 security update. Specifically, the keyboard and mouse become non-functional at random intervals. The system has not frozen up, though, as items on the screen continue to update. Each time this has happened, I have had to ssh into the machine from another one and reboot. I am on a dual G4 Powermac, 867 MHz with 2 GB of RAM running OS X 10.4.10. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this?

Hard to say. Have a bootable backup of your installation before the update? Did you repair permissions and repair the disk before installing? How soon after rebooting does the problem come back? Have you checked the console and system logs?

Security Update 2008-007 and Exchange Server Problem

At work I access an exchange server using Entourage 2004 under Leopard 10.5.5. I just installed the 2008-007 Security Update and now I can no longer connect with the exchange server. Other network services are working, just can't access exchange. Oddly, I am also unable to access the my work mail using Outlook Web Access (OWA) in Safari, but it works in Firefox. Has anyone else run into these problems? Any advice? Thanks.
M. Ward

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem at work. We use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 here and I can't connect to my folder in the server since yesterday, either on my desktop iMac and on my MacBook. When I click on the server icon I have for a long time in the dock, after sometime waiting I get the message "Connection failed-Maybe the server doesn't exist......". I also tried through the "connect" icon in a Finder window and even changing the server adress to smb://nameoftheserver doesn't work.
I don't have the OWA problem since it works with https:// and not with http://
Hope somebody can help us.

Security Update-2007-007

This security update, when applied, turns the Mac firewall OFF. It might be worthwhile pointing out to readers/site visitors that this happens, so they can turn it on again.
Quite a few other users ave also experienced this problem, which isn't apparent unless you check.
Odd that a security update disables your security.

Hi ttreen1950;
Thank you.

Security Updates 2006-007 & 2007-003 | Need Advice

I have never had any problems with the security updates before, but last Fall, when i downloaded Security Update 2006-007, my entire computer froze. I wrote about this at the time but my problem was never resolved. (My computer model and info are listed below.)
No matter what i tried, i always ended up having to shut my computer down by pressing down on the button. I tried restarting several times and it was always completely frozen. The cursor would move but would not open anything.
Finally, i ended up having to reinstall my OS from the disks all over again. I tried installing the 2006-007 update again, and the same thing happened. Had to completely reinstall my OS.
I didn't like the idea of not having the security update, but since my computer was not functional after installing the update, i opted not to get that update again.
Well, i downloaded the 2007-003 update, and although i saw that the 2006-007 was combined with that update, i figured that maybe the bugs had been worked out or something. Stupid me. The exact same thing happened with this new combined update.
I need some computer genius to figure out why in the world this is happening. I just don't get it.
Like i said, i feel insecure not having the updates but my computer just won't function when i install these particular ones.
I have tried so many times and keep having to reinstall my OS.
What could be causing this?
I know this is happening to other people, too, as i've read the other threads about it and also posted in at least one of them.
Oh, and in case anyone is wondering - although my PowerBook is getting along in years (nearly five years old), it still works great! I mean, it's just a fine computer that has never given me any serious problems. Without those particular security updates, it still works wonderfully. I'm religious about repairing permissions and general maintenance.
But these security updates render it useless. So i'm afraid to install them, they seem to be bad for my computer and i'm really tired of having to reinstall my OS.
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, scapesuiter.
I suppose i can rule out third party software, as, after i reinstalled my OS after the first freezing (after 2007-003), i did not add anything else. At that point there was nothing on my computer but what came on the original install disks. I tried downloading and installing 2007-003 again and the same thing happened, and i had to reinstall again.
However, i do have 1GB RAM that i did not order from Apple. My computer originally came with 512 but i bought more some time ago (can't remember exactly when).
I also bought a new hard drive, also not from Apple, at around the same time.
But i should say again that i've had no problems since getting the new hardware, other than with these particular security updates (2007-003 and 2006-007). All the other security updates went well, as well as all other software updates.
(I also did a hardware check with my Apple Hardware Test disk and it indicated that everything was working fine.)
