A pple has posted a newer version of the June security update we reported last week. According to an Apple Knowledge Base (KBase) article, some users encountered login problems after installing the 1.0 version of the security update, and version 2.0 corrects that problem. First, the description of the update, which is word-for-word the same as it was last week:
