Apple issues minor Remote Desktop, Snow Leopard security updates

Apple Remote Desktop 3.5.3 (Client)

Apple's update to its remote desktop management software fixes vague "reliability, usability and compatibility" issues and is included in the OS X 10.7.4 Lion update or as a standalone update for Snow Leopard users.

It was reported last week that Apple seeded a new beta build of Remote Desktop 3.6 to developers that is expected to ship alongside OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion sometime this summer.

The client software download weighs in at 3.8MB and is available for automatic update vie Software Update or through Apple's Support Downloads page.

Both can be downloaded via Software Update, with the client version coming in at 238.73MB while the server update is 258.11MB.
