Mac OS X Security Update released for download
Aug 24, 2010 - 1 Comment
Fire up Software Update, Apple has released a security update for Mac OS X. Several potential exploits are patched in the update, one of them looks similar to the PDF exploit that was used for the web based easy iPhone jailbreak that was patched with iOS 4.0.2. Who knew that Mac OS X and iOS shared some of the same vulnerabilities? Other security issues fixed involve PHP, Samba, libsecurity, CoreGraphics, ClamAV, CFNetwork, and ATS.
As usual, the security update requires a system reboot.
Any one who knows that iOS is OSX only smaller would probably be able to have made that very small leap. Of course it’s one of those little details that they only told EVERYONE at the launch of the iPhone.
