Article Link: Apple Issues SMC Firmware Update for MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air Models
Not for Late 2012 MBP
Tried installing the downloaded package. It doesn't appear to be for a MacBookPro9,2.

Same thing's happened to me before, they don't always seem to play nice with external media that's been plugged in on boot.
It's only certain models apparently, but it doesn't state which. See here for MBP (here for everybody else).
If you don't get it in Software Update, you most likely don't need it. If you're skeptical, download it manually and see if your system takes it (it will tell you it's not meant for your system if it isn't).
Seems it isn't for 2011 MB's.

Models supported
Looking inside the updates, they are for the following:
MacBook
MacBook7,1 (13-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBook Air
MacBookAir3,1 (11-inch, Late 2010)
MacBookAir3,2 (13-inch, Late 2010)
MacBookAir4,1 (11-inch, Mid 2011)
MacBookAir4,2 (13-inch, Mid 2011)
MacBook Pro
MacBookPro7,1 (13-inch, Mid 2010)
MacBookPro8,1 (13-inch, Early 2011 or Late 2011)
The MacBook disk image from the Apple support download page appears to be damaged - I got an error "There may be a problem with this disk image. Are you sure you want to open it?". I was able to examine the package after clicking the Open button, but it might be safer for MacBook users to get this one via Software Update until Apple fixes the image. The other two disk images mounted OK.
Edit: it occurs to me that the bad image might be a problem on my nearest Akamai mirror. Anyone else have problems mounting the MacBook disk image? (I downloaded it twice, didn't help.)
