Time for a security update (restart will be required). This one fixes the
vulnerability that was successfully used in the Pwn2Own competition.

It's a whopper at 210MB. I don't remember ever seeing such a big size
for a one-item security update.

Pwn2Own was like 20 days ago, right? Not bad.

Rather annoying for Leoaprd users that this security update fixes a
single problem but incorporates all the earlier security updates,
resulting in another multi-hundred megabyte download just two weeks
after the previous one.

Not so bad for Snow Leopard users, but you must install 10.6.3 first if
you are still on 10.6.2 or earlier.

?!? 6.3 MB on my MB Pro 15 with 10.6.3 (screen capture available to
doubters). I'm in a hotel with a not-so-fast connection and figured at
210 MB I would wait until I'm at home, but I peeked and downloaded and
installed in a matter of seconds. Go figure.
