Apple has been busy with patches the last couple of days. Both 10.4 and 10.5 users will be presented with a shiny new system update.

For Leopard, the big fixes include a security update for the Firewall. This addresses some of the concerns floated by researchers last month. Amazingly, Apple also sort of admits that it screwed up by conceding that the "block all connections" claim was "misleading."

Also in the Leopard update are fixes for Time Machine, Airport, and several fixes for Finder and Disk Utility.

Tiger users will be receiving an update as well, and it's a big'un. 39 security fixes and roughly 18 compatibility and stability patches.

Windows users aren't getting out of the patching party either. Apple has updated the Windows Safari beta with a few security and stability fixes.

As usual, you can score any of these updates via Software Update or though the Apple download site.
