Apple patches 25 flaws in Mac OS X
iPod maker Apple Inc. has released their latest batch of security patches and the company claims that these fix around 25 bugs in their Mac OS X operating system.
Apple said that these fixes affects various parts of the operating system, including some third-party components such as the Kerberos authentication technology.
The company added in their security advisory that some of these flaws are serious enough to allow an attacker to gain complete control over an unpatched Mac.
Some of the patches are to fix the issues reported during the Month of Apple Bugs and Month of Kernel Bugs projects.
Though, the company has no regular schedule to release the patches for their software applications, Apple has been issuing regular series of updates in the recent months.
These latest round of patches are available through the Software Update feature in Mac OS X and from Apple Downloads.
