Apple has issued security updates for OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.7, both stand-alone and server versions fixing a total of 26 security bugs, some of them serious.
The update, details of which are available here, is Apple's fourth this year.

The vulnerabilities affect AFP server, bluetooth, DHCP and several other areas of OS X operation. They affect file sharing and image handling, in some cases enabling the system to be compromised by a hacker who is able to persuade the use to open a corrupt Tiff image file.
