Apple has posted Security Update 2008-003 for pre-10.5.3 systems. The updates are already folded into the OS X Leopard Update 10.5.3 released earlier on Wednesday, so users who have applied the 10.5.3 update need not apply the Security Update 2008-003.
The Security Update 2008-003 is applicable to Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.5.2. It is available at Apple's download page. A history of Apple's security fixes is found in KB article # HT1222.
The update varies in size by machine type and OS client or server and is between 72 and 118 MB.
The details of the security items fixed are as follows:
AFP Server CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1027 Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11, Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.2, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.2 Impact: Files that are not designated for sharing may be accessed remotely Description: AFP Server did not check that a file or directory to be served was inside a folder designated for sharing. A connected user or guest may access any files or folders for which they have permission, even if not contained in folders designated for sharing. This update addresses the issue by denying access to files and folders that are not inside a folder designated for sharing. Credit to Alex deVries and Robert Rich for reporting this issue.

While these content types are not automatically launched, if manually opened they could lead to the execution of a malicious payload. This update improves the system's ability to notify users before handling content types used by Automator, Help, Safari, and Terminal. On Mac OS X v10.4 this functionality is provided by the Download Validation feature. On Mac OS X v10.5 this functionality is provided by the Quarantine feature.
