Recent Software Updates

This last week was filled with a wide range of security updates for the Mac (and Windows with Safari). I don't know about you, but I love updates.

• Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 - Viewing a maliciously crafted image may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. Personally I think arbitrary code execution adds a little excitement to life.
• AirPort Extreme Base Station Firmware 7.3.1 - A maliciously crafted AFP request may lead to a denial of service.
• Security Update 2008-002 - Includes critical security updates to AFP Client, AFP Server, Apache, AppKit, Application Firewall, CFNetwork, ClamAV, CoreFoundation, CoreServices, CUPS, curl, Emacs, file, Foundation, Help Viewer, Image Raw, Kerberos, libc, mDNSResponder, notifyd, OpenSSH, pax archive utility, PHP, Podcast Producer, Preview, Printing, System Configuration, UDF, Wiki Server, X11.
• Safari 3.1 - This update includes security and feature enhancements. Additional comments on the new features will appear in another post.
