Apple released a security update late Monday that addresses vulnerabilities in Mac OS X's Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The company's patch, which works for both client and server versions of Mac OS 10.3.4 (the latest version of Panther) and Mac OS 10.2.8 (the latest version of Jaguar) is accessible either through OS X's Software Update or online at Apple's Web site. The flaw, which affected Apple's Safari Web browser and the Mac version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser, first became public last month.
Re: Apple Finally Patches OS X Flaw

Mac OS X people have a lot to learn about the Unix OS in general. It might well surprise Mac users to know that other commericial unix-based operating systems such as Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX have SEVERAL THOUSAND patches released to fix issues with their OS's every year.
I am currenting doing Solaris admin work and Sun routinely releases patch packages. Sometimes, there are over 100+ patches in a single Recommendend and Security Patches release. So I do not understand what the Macheads are complaining about. This Unix OS is not unlike any other. I would be concerned if Apple did not release routine patches.
There will always be vulerablities in every OS and the Mac heads should elevate OS X to a higher standard when, itself, is not perfect.
