#SHOULD I UPGRADE MAC OS X LION 10.7.5 UPDATE#
In addition to these security fixes that are shared in both the Snow Leopard and Lion updates, the OS X 10.7.5 update for Lion addresses a few usability issues. In most of the cases, these vulnerabilities are potential issues that are not being exploited, but now that they are published, it is best to keep your system updated to ensure they are closed. In addition, updates to the systems' directory services, core image-handling libraries, kernel, and log-in window services fix bugs where attackers could similarly get passwords and other personal information, or where the user might inadvertently execute an unwanted program. The security issues addressed by these updates include problems with Web sharing and DNS management services that could result in a denial-of-service attack on the system, and revocation of a compromised root certificate from TrustWave that could allow an attacker to intercept personal information.
