A similar fix was provided last week in a Safari update that followed the rollout of OS X Lion 10.7.4. If detected, Leopard will display a dialog notifying users that the latest Flash Player is not running and will provide a link to the appropriate download. Mac OS X Leopard's second update disables versions of Adobe's Flash Player in Safari that do not have the most current security protocols. The security update also disables the Java plug-in in Safari, though users can reactivate it by navigating to the Security tab in Safari > Preferences. The 1.23MB download will scan a Mac's hard drive for the Flashback trojan and, if found, will remove the malicious code that at one point affected over 600,000 Macs worldwide. One month after rolling out a dedicated Flashback malware removal tool for OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple has released a 'Leopard Flashback Removal Security Update' for the legacy OS.
Apple on Monday released two software updates that bring recent OS X Lion security fixes regarding Java and Adobe Flash Player to Macs running previous generation operating system OS X 10.5 Leopard.
