Apple Issues Patches For 25 Security Holes

TheCybernator writes "Apple today released software updates to plug more than two dozen security holes in its Mac OS X operating system and other software. The free patches are available via the Mac's built-in Software Update feature or directly from Apple's Web site. All told, today's batch fixes some 25 distinct security vulnerabilities, including a dangerous flaw present in the AirPort wireless devices built into a number of Apple computers, including the eMac, the iBook, iMac, Powerbook G3 and G4, and the Power Mac G4. Apple said computers with its AirPort Extreme wireless cards are not affected. Earlier this month, Apple released a software update to fix a vulnerability in its wireless router, the AirPort Extreme Base Station. That update and instructions on how to apply it are available at the link."

They are not blaming MIT, nor am I but my quick description might leave that impression.

That MIT developed it is relevant because, some admins might be running a home grown versions or ruggadized versions sold by other specialist vendors. Infact every hole clearly says which module is affected to help you decide whether or not you need to update your system. Wish MSFT also would clearly say what is not affected by the hole.
