Security Update 2016-006 (Yosemite) and 2016-002 (El Capitan)

Apple has released Security Update 2016-006 for OS X 10.10 Yosemite and Security Update 2016-002 for 10.11 El Capitan, bringing a few select patches from the macOS 10.12.1 Sierra release to the two older operating systems (see “macOS 10.12.1 Sierra, watchOS 3.1, and tvOS 10.0.1 Mostly Fix Bugs,” 24 October 2016). For both systems, the security update addresses a couple of memory corruption issues and an SGI image parsing issue. (Free.
