Apple on May 24 released patches for 17 vulnerabilities spanning a host of technologies and a slew of potential unpleasantness: from system takeover to denial of service to password snatching. The patches can be downloaded automatically by enabling Software Update or they can be downloaded at Apple's download site.

[i]How is it "good work" when they release 17 patches at once? Just fix the issues as soon as possible and get the updates out there directly instead.{/I]
This may not always be practical due to the amount of regression testing needed before releasing the code, especially when several of these vulnerabilities are linked to a common module. To use a car analogy, why bother realigning the wheels after a brake change, when you know you will also install new tyres soon. Ideally, you do the entire batch at once.
