Apple issues AirPort, Security software updates
AppleInsider StaffJust the fifth major security update released for Mac computers this year, Security Update 2006-005 addresses a series of issues that could potentially allow attackers on a wireless network to cause system crashes, arbitrary code execution or elevate their access privileges.
The update is available as a 2.2MB download for the Universal version of Mac OS X 10.4.7. Apple also posted 1MB updaters for Mac OS X 10.4.7 PowerPC and Mac OS X 10.3.9.
Separately, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company issued a 1.3MB AirPort Update 2006-001 — the first of the year — that improves AirPort wireless connection reliability on Mac computers.
