I had not noticed, but having just checked YES you are correct.
I too have it still listed in updates to download.
WHY IS THIS SO ?

Apple has released a revision to its 2004-09-07 Security Update,
numbered 1.1, which reportedly fixes a widespread, previously
reported FTP connectivity issue.
The problem, which disabled FTP capabilities for a number of users
on both Mac OS X 10.2.8 and Mac OS X 10.3.5 systems, generated the
the error message: "User (username) may not use FTP" in most
instances.
A previously reported workaround involved replacing the patched
version of Mac OS X's FTP daemon (ftpd) with the FTP daemon from
another Mac OS X installation sans-security update.
Security Update 2004-09-07's changes to Mac OS X's FTP components
are listed by Apple as follows: "(Eliminates) a rare condition that
can permit an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code. [...] If the FTP service has been
enabled, and a remote attacker can correctly authenticate, then a
race condition would permit them to stop the FTP service or execute
arbitrary code. The fix is to replace the lukemftpd FTP service with
tnftpd. lukemftp is installed but not activated in Mac OS X Server,
which instead uses xftp [...]."
The revised version of Security Update 2004-09-07 is available
either through Software Update.

Hello People,
Anyone else experiencing this Security Update 2004-09-07 v1.1 showing
in Software Update after being downloaded & installed & computer
restarted?
I've also installed it again from the package in Library, but it is
still showing in Software Update.
Cheers,
Ronni
