Security Update 2009-004

[A Nonny Moose]

Yes it's out! This update addresses the BIND exploit even further (which isn't even on by default in OSX). This is a major thing, as it allows ugly things to happen in your web browser and you could accidentally download something even uglier (like a porn trojan). As always, post any issues/successes/happy thoughts.

 

Safari is at 4.0.3 now and it now features a plethora of holes plugged up. While you're at it, visit iWork.com (yes this site exists and Safari fixed an issue with this site).

 

Airport got updated too and this addresses wireless while on battery power. You'll need a late 2007 or better laptop Mac in order to take advantage of this one.

 

Finally, even the trackpad got updated here! This is for users who use Windows on their Macs so if your trackpad is feeling wonky, give it a shot.
