Security Updates for Mac OS X Available

Summary: Apple shipped a software update fixing at least a dozen security vulnerabilities in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, covering OS X 10.5 and 10.6 desktop and server machines and available through Software Update or Apple Downloads. More than half of the fixes address the Mac version of Adobe's Flash Player plugin.
Why it matters: More than half the flaws patched in this OS update trace back to a third-party plugin, a reminder that the browser plugin sitting outside your OS vendor's core code carries a large share of the risk you are patching for.
