Apple patched 58 vulnerabilities in its Mac operating systems Monday. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3937
More than half of the vulnerabilities patched today, 32 out of the 58, were accompanied by the phrase “may lead to arbitrary code execution,” which is Apple’s way of saying that a flaw was critical and could be used by attackers to hijack a Mac. Apple does not assign ratings or severity scores to the bugs it patches, unlike other major software makers, such as Microsoft and Oracle.
