Apple releases patches for over 40 OS X vulnerabilities
Sean Michael Kerner writes in internetnews.com:
Apple users have one less reason to feel smug about security in comparison to their Windows peers today.
Over 40 different vulnerabilities ranging in severity from local privilege escalation to highly critical system exploit code that could allow a hacker to arbitrarily execute code and gain full system control were revealed as part of Apple's monthly security update.
The cavalcade of flaws involves a who's who of software applications and OS X components including AppKit, Safari, MySQL, OpenSSL, zlib, Apache, Mail and Bluetooth among others.
The flaws detailed in Apple's security update 2005-007 affects OS X version 10.3.9 and 10.4.2.
