Apple released 18 updates for some issues, but nothing critical… No zero-day attacks, but as always, it is worth the free update and will provide some protection.  Some issues include networking with Appletalk, which isn’t used as much as TCP/IP and is found more often in pure Apple environments as opposed to mixed (pc/apple).  Most of the issues are just obscure issues and require a user’s username and password to abuse.  Just run your normal software updates by clicking the Apple icon on the top left of your screen and choosing “software updates”.

Firefox released 3.5.2 and 3.0.13 to address some security issues that affect Java applets, which are very simply speaking, programs that run inside of Firefox.  I strongly suggest you check out Firefox 3.5 instead of 3.0 as it is noticably faster than 3.0 if you are a firefox user.  Checkout Firefox for the free download and don’t forget to uninstall any of your old Firefox browers…..
