The update has 20 fixes for a wide range of Mac OS X technologies, including, to name a few, Certificates, Color Sync, CUPS, the Finder, QuickLook and the ScriptEditor.

The Update now appears in System Preferences -> Software Update and is 31.1 MB. The Update applies to both PPC and Intel Macs and is recommended for all users.

Details of the update and the specific fixes can be found at Apple's security updates page. Stand alone updaters are available at Apple's Downloads page.
