Remote code flaws in browser fixed
Apple has released security updates to protect users from remote code executions in the company's Safari and OS X platforms. The company said that the Safari 6.0.3 update would include fixes to patch vulnerable components of the browser and its WebKit engine. The update includes fixes for flaws which, if targeted by an attacker, could allow for remote code execution attacks.
Additionally, the update addresses a pair of flaws in the browser which could be exploited by attackers to perform a cross-site scripting attack.
Apple is recommending that users running OS X Lion download the Safari update through the Apple Software Update application.

From system infiltrators to social engineers, scammers seek access to advisory firms' weakest points of entry. “The man in the browser is the most sophisticated type of threat because it's the hardest to detect from an organizational point of view,” Mr. Schouwenberg said. Everything looks the same from the victim's end, both in the machine and the browser. And from the organization's point of view, the machine will look the same.” To fight such threats, Mr. Schouwenberg recommended that firms make sure all software is up to date and to install monthly Microsoft patches routinely. He also warned that attackers are going after browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Oracle's Java, and that advisory firms may want to provide software to clients that provides routine security checks.
