Apple releases a bagfull of security fixes

Agram writes: "This week, Apple has released 31 vulnerability fixes for its OS, although reportedly a number of known flaws remain unaddressed. This release comes as the latest in a long tradition of OS X fixes, some of which pertain to various open-source projects. Earlier this year, akin to Microsoft's past patching faux pas, Apple has released a "fix" whose installation ended-up breaking features otherwise unaffected by the flaw the fix aimed to address. With the growing number of low-level flaws, one has to wonder if the "more secure" argument still stands. Earlier this month, Microsoft has released 6 fixes. Linux (if you need an URL for Linux, you are probably at this site by mistake) does not seem to fare much better either. All this, however, is in stark contrast with the number of exploits in the wild for each of the three platforms. Perhaps, security-wise the OS choice really boils down to a "pick-your-poison x user-base" equation?"
