Apple Newbie

I use a plethora of operating systems daily and keeping up with security updates can be stressful. I subscribe to Secunia for all my security update notification needs. Very useful for a system administrator. Remember, you are your own system administrator at home!

Apple has released a critical security update for Mac OS X that solves a grand total of 10 security issues. Click here for the Secunia Advisory release and here for Apple’s security advisory.

Click here to download the update 2005-008 for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and here for Mac OS X 10.4.2. You can also update via OS X’s Software Updates.

This update also enhances some non-security related items like Parental Controls. Refer to Apple’s advisory for more information.
