Beats Microsoft to the punch in patching ‘man-in-the-middle’ SSL vulnerability
Computerworld – Apple on Tuesday patched 12 vulnerabilities in Leopard and Snow Leopard, including seven in Adobe Flash Player and one in the protocol used to secure Internet traffic.
Security update 2010-001, the first from Apple this year, is noticeably smaller than the monster issued last November that fixed almost 60 flaws.
The seven fixes for Flash Player, Apple’s first update to the popular media player since September, brought the program up to version 10.0.42.34, the same edition that Adobe shipped Dec. 8, 2009, for Windows and Linux. Adobe tagged six of the seven vulnerabilities as critical in its own security advisory last month.
