Also apple seemed to "jump the gun" a little, yesterday apple posted a knowledge base article that outlined all the new fixes.  Then within an hour or two they took the article down.  Now you can download it from software update, and read about it here:

No big deal; Linux gets patched about that much every day   ;)  Which can only mean that very soon Linux will outpace both Windows and Mac.  
Microsoft: Where do you want to get fucked today?
Apple: Think different - or we'll sue your pants off!
It's not easy being greeeen
