Apple Releases Security Updates to Fix 134 Vulnerabilities in OS X

Apple has just released security updates to fix 134 vulnerabilities in all current versions of OS X, Apple’s line of operating systems. Attackers exploit these vulnerabilities in numerous ways, including enticing users to download and view various documents and images, which could ultimately allow the attacker to gain full control over the user’s computer.

3D Corporation highly recommends that Mac users update their machines as soon as possible to mitigate the risk of attack. More information and instructions on how to apply these updates can be found in Apple’s security update Mac OS X v10.6.5 and Security Update 2010-007.
