Yup, that’s right… If you haven’t checked today go to your Software Update by clicking the ‘Apple‘ in the top-left corner of your Mac and update Lion today.
This update includes a major security fix so I’d go get it now…
The fix is a nasty issue that left your passwords stored in plain text on the hard drive; a definite “no no” for secure operating systems. I’d just go through and update everything that pops up in Software Update as most of them are crucial to your applications and system’s performance.
Like I said, just click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner on the top bar of your Mac and click Software Update. From there go ahead and download/install the updates.
