Apple's '07 Patch Tally Nearly Twice Last Year's |
Apple's patchy year continued Monday as the Mac maker released fixes for some 40 Mac OS X glitches in its ninth security update. In a separate release, Apple also put out an update to plug a flaw in the beta version of its Safari 3 Web browser running on Windows Vista and XP. The company also dealt with 18 other Java-related vulnerabilities in addition to its ongoing QuickTime flaw, with patches released last Thursday. Apple does not rank the severity of its bugs, but among the fixes included in Monday's update, 20 of them should be considered critical, said SophosLabs manager Richard Wang.
