The version 1.0.1 update is only available by donwloading on iPhone through iTunes."Before, we knew of two vulnerabilities, and they fixed five. I'm impressed with Apple to turn it around this quickly. If you think of the time needed to write the code and test it properly they did a good job turning it around in this short amount of time," said Amol Sarwate, research manager at vulnerability management company Qualys.Apple also released an update for Mac OS X 10.3 called "Panther," and 10.4 "Tiger, for fixing 45 bugs. Components of Mac OS X patched were CFNetwork, the Mac OS X library of network protocols; CoreAudio, the application programming interface that handles sound on Macs; the zgrep file-compression utility; iChat; and WebCore, the part of the WebKit application framework that handles HTML rendering.They released patches for Safari browser too: Safari 3.0.3 that fixes four flaws, two of which are vulnerabilities carried over from old code.
