The bug fixes kept coming Monday, as Apple shipped critical security updates for its Mac OS X operating system.The latest security updates fix 11&#160;bugs in the Mac operating system, including eight bugs in the recently released Mac OS X 10.5, known as &quot;Leopard.&quot; Apple released the security fixes in conjunction with an 10.5.2 update to Leopard, which includes dozens of other updates.Some of the security flaws are extremely serious, and could be exploited by hackers to run unauthorized software on a victim&#39;s computer, although Apple did not report any incidents of this occurring.The patches include fixes for Safari, Mail, Launch Services, the Mac OS Directory Services, Open Directory and Parental Controls. There are also patches for several Unix components that ship with Apple&#39;s software, including a recently patched flaw in the Samba file-and-print software.&quot;The Samba bug was expected, since all the open-source distributions released fixes a while ago,&quot; said Andrew Storms, nCircle&#39;s director of security operations, via instant message.It&#39;s been a busy time for software developers working on some widely used software products.Apple&#39;s patches come a day before&#160;Microsoft is set to issue a massive set of updates&#160;itself. Last week, the software vendor said it expected to release 12 security updates for a variety of products including critical updates for Windows, Internet Explorer and Office.Last week other&#160;critical patches were also released for Adobe Reader&#160;and Apple&#39;s QuickTime media player.&#160;

(InfoWorld) - Apple on Thursday unveiled the year's fifth major security update for Mac OS X to patch 17 vulnerabilities, but fewer than one-third of them could lead to hackers injecting their own code into a compromised system. Thursday's release also marked the first time this year that an operating system security update from Apple did not patch a vulnerability disclosed by the January Month of Apple Bugs project. If Apple sorted bugs by a ranking system -- as do other vendors, including Microsoft Corp. -- most of the bugs fixed by Security Update 2007-005 would be rated less than critical. In eight out of the 17, for example, exploits could do no more damage than to generate a denial of service of, or crash, the affected component. Microsoft typically pegs such vulnerabilities as "important" rather than "critical." Only five of the patched vulnerabilities could result in an attacker executing his own code. Among the serious bugs is one in how Mac OS X 10.4, known as Tiger, handles PDF files. "By enticing a user to open a maliciously crafted PDF file, an attacker could trigger the overflow, which may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution," Apple's advisory said. Attacks sporting this strategy, although rare on Macs, are common threats faced by Windows users, who have had to learn -- sometimes unsuccessfully -- to be wary of unexpected file attachments. Another dangerous flaw fixed Thursday exists in the code that maps ports on home networks in iChat, Apple's instant messaging service and software. An attacker need only send a malformed packet to trigger a buffer overflow, which could then be used to add malicious code to the Mac. The hacker, however, must have access to the local network to exploit the bug. Other parts of Mac OS X that were patched Thursday include BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain), the de facto standard Domain Name System server software, which was patched against four vulnerabilities; the Ruby CGI library (two vulnerabilities); and Fetchmail (one vulnerability). Although Thursday's update pushed Apple's year-to-date patch total to over 100, there was a bright side: It included fixes for fewer flaws thanÂ last monthÂ (25) and the month before (45). The security update can be downloaded from theÂ Apple siteÂ or using Mac OS X's built-in update service.
