There haven't been many major pieces of software that didn't have at least one major security vulnerability reported in the last year. Apple's products being no exception.

Flash, Java, and Adobe Reader, present almost uniquely-attractive attack surfaces due to their cross-browser ubiquity as well as their fragility. That isn't making excuses for them, of course, but it gives us an important data point as to what behaviour to avoid in future. (I'm looking at you, Silverlight.)
