Apple Issues June Security Update

Apple has issued its June security update for both Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Mac OS X 10.4.1, known as Tiger. The update includes 12 patches for Apple's newly released operating system, including fixes for Bluetooth and PHP vulnerabilities, and a fix for a flaw that caused poorly formed PDF files to crash applications.

Microsoft, meanwhile, has not yet issued its standard advanced notice of next week's "Patch Tuesday" update for Windows; however, the company has scheduled its monthly security webcast for June 14. Last month, Microsoft issued one critical update to Windows 2000, while Apple released 20 fixes for Mac OS X 10.3 - mostly correcting flaws in third-party software.
