UPDATE: I want to correct this post. Rather than being tied to Apple's automatic update mechanism, as I suggested previously, the vulnerability in Apple's Safari browser is related to the way the Mac lets users automatically open up "safe" file types. For more info and how to protect your Mac, look at the entry entitled "Public Exploit Code for a Vulnerability in Apple Safari browser" on this link.
