A look at Friday's Apple security updates
Do you run a computer lab, or some other environment where people you don't trust are using your Macs? Then you need to install the latest security update really soon. Otherwise you can wait a few days.
Apple fixed some problems that could have allowed someone to crash the machine, or could have allowed someone who was already logged in to exceed their privileges. These bugs are a step away from being a screaming emergency. You still need to fix them, because an attacker could add other ingredients and make a dangerous attack. Fortunately it's not happening yet.
If you're in a hurry, run Software Update from System Preferences.
