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;

Apple has released a security fix for its QuickTime media player software, fixing a critical bug that had been worrying security experts for nearly a month.The update, released Wednesday, fixes a vulnerability in the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) used by QuickTime to handle streaming media.On Jan. 10, researcher Luigi Auriemma disclosed the flaw by posting proof-of-concept attack code that could be used to run unauthorized software on a victim&#39;s computer. For the attack to work, the criminal would have to first trick the user into viewing a maliciously encoded QuickTime media file.With the attack code available, security researchers had been hoping that Apple would address the flaw. Wednesday&#39;s QuickTime 7.4.1 update is for both the Mac OS X and Windows operating systems.It is Apple&#39;s fifth QuickTime update since October. The company has been forced to issue the flurry of patches as security researchers have taken a closer look at media player flaws during the past year. In December, Apple patched a separate RTSP vulnerability, which online criminals had already started to use in their attacks.&quot;In the past few months, QuickTime has been a prevalent target for security researchers,&quot; said Andrew Storms, director of security operations with nCircle Network Security. &quot;Internet media applications on the desktop have been a rich target for attackers, and this trend is sure to continue as most users aren&#39;t yet accustomed to attacks arriving in the form of a viral video.&quot;

Apple kept its rush of year-end security patches coming Monday, issuing a flurry of fixes for its Mac OS X operating system and the test version of its Safari browser.Monday&#39;s patches included a whopping 31 updates for the Apple operating system. The Mac OS X patches fix components ranging from the Address Book and iChat software to under-the-covers operating system components such as ColorSync, the IO Storage Family, and the Perl, Python and Ruby programming languages.Most of these flaws theoretically could be exploited by attackers to run unauthorized software on the Mac, although some of them had other security implications, such as allowing an attacker to gain access to sensitive information or download files to the computer without authorization.These updates are for the Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 operating systems, known as Tiger and Leopard, respectively.Apple also released a minor update to its Safari 3 beta code, which runs on Windows as well as Mac OS X, fixing a cross-site scripting security problem that affects Windows users.The patches come just days after&#160;Apple released a major update to its QuickTime media player and a Java security fix for the Mac OS X 10.4 operating system, code-named Tiger. The QuickTime flaw was particularly serious, as&#160;it had been exploited by online criminals since early December.With hackers and security researchers now paying more attention to Apple&#39;s products, the company&#39;s security team has been working overtime on bug fixes this year. Monday&#39;s patches were Apple&#39;s 35th and 36th security updates this year. In 2006, the company released just 22 sets of patches for its products.
