If you look at the Mac security updates lately, you can see avalanches of "execute arbitrary code" fixes for every release. It seems that Mac Os X has more holes than a factory of Swiss cheese.

EDIT: Why was this downvoted?

If you down vote at least you can comment why. These are the security updates since Oct:

I completely agree that it's disconcerting. At least they are transparent about it and no other mainstream OS seems to be doing better.

That's the problem with C, it can't be written securely and these bugs will continue to be fixed for decades.
