This is kinda weird but safe for the users at the same time Apple have just launched the update for the Mac OSX with a severe patchment of 92 vulnerabilities. Well it have also breaked the previous record of the Mac OSX update released last year, when Apple 's largest patched 67 vulnerabilities .
The update brings Snow Leopard to version 10.6.3, making this the third major update to the OS that Apple launched in August 2009. Apple also addressed a list of nearly 30 non-security issues in the 10.6.3 update. Leopard users, meanwhile, received only the security patches ..
As a matter of fact, most of the patches were for the QuickTime player for the Leopard OS and it was expected as we have already been knowing many of the Mp4 Zero Day exploitations etc and due to the Pwn2ownage conference the exploits shown there was a big reason for this turn out.
"The sheer number, it's almost so daunting that you don't even want to look," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Network Security.
Today on 30th Apple came out with a update of 42 security fixes which is about the 40% of the total number of the security apple is working onn. The other thing which is kinda in favour of apple is that they don't rate/score there patches like some of the other giants like Microsoft and Oracle.
The other news we got for you is that RSnake and his friends have done some research on this and found some of the exploitations in the safari browser which is regarding the port number float/integer overflow which can cause alot of damage.
“Safari has a typical integer overflow
