Apple has posted a Mac OS X Security Update that patches almost two dozen holes in the Unix-based operating system. The update incorporates fixes for AirPort, Apple Type Services, Finder, Installer, Security Framework, VPN and a raft of other, under-the-hood apps and utilities.
However, the fix doesn't appear to patch the recently exposed vulnerability [1] in Mac OS X's Disk Image handling code.
The updates, for client and server versions of Mac OS X, and for PowerPC- and Intel-oriented releases of the operating system, are available from Apple's Support site here [2], or via the OS' own Software Update utility.
Full details of the fixes are presented here [3]. ®
