I wonder if this addresses the "vulnerabilities" in OS X that lead to the recent vulnerabilities, or, for that matter, if it addresses the "known" issues in OS X which have allowed the various sites hosted on minis to be "hacked" (yes, I know they were left open to attack etc etc etc ad infinitum)

Nice to see Apple "keeping up" anyway ;)

EDIT: Downloading now...hope all goes well. I'm still surprised all the software updates to OS X are architecture dependent and not shipped as universal updates. I suppose it saves bandwidth etc.

Safari is way quicker after the update.

Score.

What's an arbitrary code execution and how would I know if one has been executed already on my iBook? Myspace.com has been acting funny so I fear that site may have caused this bc Apple.com says malicious sites can cause an arbitrary code execution.

Well, I have sound in Safari again. :rolleyes:

Code that executes arbitrarily - code that runs without asking basically...

And it's unlikely that there's malicious code on myspace... just bad code

Is that the shortest gap between Security Updates?

Not sure..this one was quick - and I had a runaway rsync function this morning that looks like it is addressed in this, too.

Maybe after a dozen of these my machine will work. :p :D
