Apple patches up OS X

Fixes seven flaws...

NEWS

Apple released a software patch on Tuesday to fix seven vulnerabilities in its Mac OS X operating system.

The fix repairs flaws in the Safari browser, the Mail program and the ColorSync utility as well as four open source programs, the computer maker stated in an advisory.

Apple also announced that it would be changing how it names its advisories, numbering the bulletins sequentially for each year, a scheme currently used by Microsoft.

Apple Mac OS X users can update their systems using the operating system's updating utility. More information can be found on the Apple website.
