Apple Patch Catchup
Summary: Apple released a batch of security updates in August 2010, including QuickTime 7.6.7 for Windows, iTunes 9.2.1, iOS 3.2.2 for iPad, iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone and iPod touch, and Safari 5.0.1, which fixes at least 15 security flaws. The iOS updates address two serious flaws, including the PDF reader flaw used to jailbreak iPads, iPhones and iPod touches, and Krebs notes that iTunes users may need to run Apple Software Update manually to get the QuickTime component.
What you should know: Readers reported that running the Apple updater left QuickTime at 7.6.6 rather than 7.6.7, meaning the bundled update path can leave iTunes customers unprotected against the QuickTime vulnerability unless the component is installed by hand.
