  Apple has shipped iTuens [sic] 10.2 as a highly-critical patch to cover a whopping 57 security vulnerabilities, some serious enough to allow hackers to take complete control of a vulnerable machine.

  The Mozilla Foundation has released Firefox 3.6.14 and Firefox 3.5.17 to address multiple vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, conduct cross-site request forgery attacks, cause a denial-of-service condition, or operate with elevated privileges.
  
  Some of these vulnerabilities also affect Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. The Mozilla Foundation has released Thunderbird 3.1.8 and SeaMonkey 2.0.12 to address these vulnerabilities.
  
  US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the Mozilla Foundation security advisories for Firefox 3.6.14 and apply any necessary updates to help mitigate the risks.
  

• Foxit Reader Security Bulletins
  

  Foxit PDF Reader 4.3.1.0218 fixed an unexpected termination of the Foxit Reader software that is caused by illegal accessing memory when opening some special PDF documents.
