A number of 52 patches have been rolled out by Apple. It seems the company encountered some problems with their OS X. The fact is that 41 vulnerabilities were discovered in Mac OS, 15 of them being introduced in the "critical" category. Those bugs could lead to serious damages through the "arbitrary code execution". The other 26 patches were applied to disable the malicious Web code downloads which can cause system vulnerability to hackers.
The rest of 10 updates were issued to fix Safari For Windows. The patches eliminate the risk of "cross-site scripting" vulnerabilities, and provide better security to sensitive information like passwords. A bug could allow remote code execution, so the patch was classified as critical.
An engineer from Ncircle sustained that most of the patches were issued because of the third-party applications shipped with Mac OS X. However, the huge number of 41 updates released for a single operation system represents an important amount in Apple's history. Everybody thought that Apple's OS is more stable than the rival Windows, but it seems all have problems
