Apple Fixes Security Exploit
Apple has released a security update for Mac OS X 10.4 that fixes the vulnerability discovered with the company's QuickTime for Java and Quartz Composer.



"Java applets may use QuickTime for Java to obtain the images rendered on screen by embedded QuickTime objects and upload them to the originating web site," Apple explained. "When this facility is used in conjunction with Quartz Composer, it becomes possible to capture images that may contain local information."

Yeah, well at least the security holes get fixed before anyone is affected by them.

I only wrote that cause I knew you would respond to it.. I know I am in no position to talk about patches when my primary role for my company is being the SMS 2003 administrator/patch management..lol.
