crsud process with security update 2013-001

I just installed the new security update, 2013-001, and Little Snitch detected a new process at startup, crsud, which wants to connect to Apple.

I would like to know what this does. My guess is that it checks for updates, perhaps to some security software. Anyone know?

It seems to me that when such a process is added, it is appropriate for Apple to explain itself in the update description, but I am old-fashioned about such things.

I think it was a security or Java Update in April for me, I was stuck at May 1 until the June security update and then I got a date of May 16 and that is where I had been stuck at till last night

My thought was maybe trying to reapply the patch might get it fixed right (I know some updates get rerelased (things fixed in an update))

Same Aug 29 here on 10.6.8. Tried to update again today, got an error from the server that says "[...] Ignoring new signature plist: Not an increase in version". At this point, I'm updating manually once every3-4 weeks, and hoping for the best.

Ignore the date, just go by the version number. Yours is up-to-date with version 65.

That's not really an error, it's exactly what you should see every day. You shouldn't need to manually update unless you hear about an update and 24 hours have passed without your seeing it.
