Electronic Arts has just released a brand new update for its Origin digital distribution client, taking it to version 9.1.15 and fixing the critical security exploit that was uncovered earlier this month.

Origin has received quite a bit of criticism in the last few weeks as after the disastrous release of SimCity, many of the 40+ million users started expressing their disappointment.

Soon after that, despite running a pretty impressive sales spree, Origin received another blow, as a security company found a critical exploit within its client.

Now, EA has released a special update for Origin that solves this glitch and prevents nefarious individuals from gaining access to a computer just by using a special vulnerability within Origin.

You can download Origin version 9.1.15 right now from Softpedia.
