Apple on Monday unveiled Security Update 2008-006, detailing the various security fixes patched between it and the Mac OS X 10.5.5 update. The updates both resolve a vast number of issues, mostly relating to the remote execution of arbitrary code, many issues resolved were related to performance and password security.
