It looks like Apple's working hard to patch all the security holes on the Mac OS X. Security Update 2007-003 is currently the seventh one for this year alone, including third party software like Flash Player, OpenSSH and MySQL.

Well, we all know what would happen if you leave your Mac unprotected. That's just like ringing the chow bell and bellowing, "Come and get it!" Vulnerabilities can range from gaining full control of your machine or crashing it, which by all means are both very bad. Here's a quick rundown of which problems Security Update 2007-003 addresses:

• ColorSync
• CoreGraphics
• Crash Reporter
• cups
• Directory Services
• DiskImages Framework
• Flash Player Plug-in
• Foundation
• gnutar
• OpenSSH
• Print Center
• QuickDraw
• sudo

If you have a Mac OS X v10.3.9 and Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, you'll need to download this megapatch. Owners of Mac OS X v10.4.9 can rest easy as this security patch is already installed within their version.
