Apple Fixes Security Holes
Apple pushed one of the biggest security update it has in a long while. This week, they fixed more than 90 security loopholes in their operating system and nearly all major components were affected. The supporting software was also looked into for vulnerabilities and these were fixed as well. In addition, Apple has released its updates for the Safari Web Browser Windows Edition.
The updates are available for both the desktop and server versions of the Leopard and the Mac OS X Tiger. Mac users can access this updates using the Software Update feature that has been built into the system. On the other hand, Safari users can run the Apple Software updated program in order to take advantage of the latest version.
In total, Apple is estimated to have fixed 93 security vulnerabilities at the very least including the Safari bundle. Many of the addressed flaws have something to do with the OS X bundle as well as its different versions of third party programs. It is notable that among all the security loopholes that were fixed, around 20 of them are related to problems with the ClamAV, this is an anti-virus program. But more serious problems are found in the Apple Help Viewer application.
