The patch notes for the update:

  • Improves Screen Sharing authentication when using Kerberos, or when authenticating as a user with no password.
  • Fixes issues controlling a remote computer with two displays when the primary display is on the rig

If you have Apple Remote Desktop installed, you will find the update in Software Update. You can download a standalone installer from Apple’s support site—it’s a 3.75MB download.
