As reported on eWeek.com:
Apple Computer’s security update train rumbled into the station late May 11 with fixes for a whopping 43 Mac OS X and QuickTime vulnerabilities.
The company’s Security Update 2006-003 patches 31 flaws in the Mac OS X, most of them serious enough to cause “arbitrary code execution attacks.”
Apple also shipped QuickTime 7.1 as a major security overhaul to correct 12 code execution and denial-of-service flaws.
The Mac OS X mega update includes patches for Apple’s flagship Safari browser and Mail client.
According to the advisory, the Safari fix covers a flaw that could allow file manipulation or code execution if a user is lured to a maliciously rigged Web site.
In Mail, Apple said the bug could allow harmful code execution if a user is tricked into viewing a malicious e-mail message.
