Today, Apple has released a Security Update 2011-005 for OS X Lion 10.7.1, OS X Lion Server 10.7.1, and Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7.1, Lion Server v10.7.1

Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may intercept user credentials or other sensitive information

Description: Fraudulent certificates were issued by multiple certificate authorities operated by DigiNotar. This issue is addressed by removing DigiNotar from the list of trusted root certificates, from the list of Extended Validation (EV) certificate authorities, and by configuring default system trust settings so that DigiNotar’s certificates, including those issued by other authorities, are not trusted.

This update is available via Software Update or the Apple’s download section.

DigiNotar’s servers were hacked last month, and began issuing false certificates, leading to security concerns among several companies. – MacStories
