Patches rain down on OS X
Apple has released a set of patches that fix 44 security flaws in its OS X operating system for servers and desktop computers.
While the patch is one of the larger ones in terms of the number of security holes it plugs, its size is relatively small. The download files varies in size from 13.3Mb to 26.9Mb, depending on the version of the operating that the user is running.
Several of the fixes in the package protect users against buffer overflow attacks or prevent them from bypassing security features, which caused security website Secunia to rate the patch as “highly critical”, its second highest security rating on a five step scale.
