NRT-0137 Apple Plugs 25 Mac OS/X Flaws:

Apple issued a security update for Mac OS/X that addresses 25 security flaws in the operating system software. The security update affects various parts of the operating system, including some third-party components such as the Kerberos authentication technology. The most serious of the vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to gain complete control over an unpatched Mac, Apple said in a security advisory. The update deals with another trio of zero-day bugs that were disclosed as part of the Month of Apple Bugs in January 2007. Apple has released a Mac OS/X security update each month this year. In March 2007, the company released an update to fix 45 bugs in the operating system. Apple doesn't have a set patch schedule. The latest update is available through the Software Update feature in Mac OS/X and from Apple Downloads.
