Macintouch is reporting that the recent security update for Snow Leopard is preventing printing from PPC applications such as Quicken snd AppleWorks, and in some cases is preventing them running at all.

What I still want to know is since v1.1. reportedly removed the patches in the original for the three ImageIO vulnerabilities as the fix for the Rosetta problem, doesn't that leave us wide open now for those exploits? These looked kind of nasty. Nothing like having a little information about what's going on. EDIT: I'm making this a separate post in order to get the most possible attention to this issue.
- ImageIO
Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8
Impact: Viewing a maliciously crafted TIFF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A buffer overflow existed in ImageIO's handling of CCITT Group 4 encoded TIFF files. This issue does not affect OS X Lion systems.
CVE-ID
CVE-2011-0241 : Cyril CATTIAUX of Tessi Technologies
- ImageIO
Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7 to v10.7.2, OS X Lion Server v10.7 to v10.7.2
Impact: Viewing a maliciously crafted TIFF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A buffer overflow existed in libtiff's handling of ThunderScan encoded TIFF images. This issue is addressed by updating libtiff to version 3.9.5.
CVE-ID
CVE-2011-1167
ImageIO
Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7 to v10.7.2, OS X Lion Server v10.7 to v10.7.2

Yes and it works.
Probably not, might just be something related to Lion, but that's just my WAG.
All the Rosetta apps I try still fail as of Security Update 2012-001 v1.1.
Then something else is wrong with your setup. Please start a new topic thread, and state that.
Reinstall Snow Leopard and then any missing updates.
a brody: Maybe so. The only confirmation that I have seen that the problem is fixed was limited to one powerpc application. Supporting your conclusion is the case that the same app (PrintSmith) does work on another Snow Leopard machine with all the same updates.
baltwo: I already reininstalled Snow Leopard and all missing updates before posting here.

Ah! The proverbial missing information. As a broody noted, start your own thread.
For anyone reading this now, this issue has been fixed by Apple from the original post topic.
FYI Warning: Security update and Rosetta
