Apple released updates to fix at least 44 different security vulnerabilities in its software for Mac OS X and Windows. Forty of the flaws reside in OS X itself, while the rest are specific to Apple’s version of the Safari Web browser built for Windows.

All of the OS X-specific flaws addressed in the patch bundle were for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and earlier. There don’t appear to be any updates pushed out for Leopard, Apple’s most recent version of its operating system.

Also among the fixes is a patch to plug a security hole in Apple’s version of the Adobe Flash Player, a vulnerability that Adobe issued its own update to fix back in July.

I raise this for a number of reasons. Apple sales of computers continue to be doing well, and people sometimes forget that they need to click the software update button to make sure these kind of bugs/issues are fixed by downloading the latest patches, check it out.
