Software Update just popped up. Small 4.5 MB update. I will wait for the early adopters to rule out any major problems.

It seems to have links with safari and mail and a buffer overflow could cause a malicous script to be executed or something to that affect (from the security info on the apple site)

Interesting that they're getting to things before Secunia reports them as trouble. Take that, Secunia! :p
