Apple posts update for OS X security issues
Apple has released an update to address a trio of security flaws in its OS X desktop platform.
The company said that the update will address vulnerabilities which, if exploited, could allow an attacker to remotely execute code on a targeted OS X system or server. The company did not report any active attacks on the flaws in the wild.
The first of the three flaws lies within the handling of Sorenson movie files. If a user were to open a specially-crafted movie, an attacker could cause a crash and would be able to remotely execute code on the targeted system.
