Apple Inc. has issued a security update for its Mac OS X operating system that repairs multiple vulnerabilities.
The security fixes, issued on Wednesday, repair a series of flaws through which an attacker could fool a person into taking actions that would let someone hijack, crash or obtain access rights to a computer.
The vulnerabilities exist in the Finder disk-handling software, iChat messaging and conferencing program, and user notification system.
Internet and computer security company Secunia rated the patch as highly critical, the fourth-most urgent rating on its five-point scale.
Mac OS users who have the automatic software update option enabled will receive the security fixes automatically.
The patches are also available at Apple’s downloads page
