Apple plugs five security holes
Apple has released a security update for its OS X operating system that plugs five vulnerabilities.
Apple does not issue severity ratings for vulnerabilities in its software, but at least two of the repaired vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to take control of a system.
The update to version 10.4.7 repairs a vulnerability in the way that OS X handles TIFF images which could be exploited through a specially crafted image. The vulnerability can cause an application to crash or allow for arbitrary code execution.
Users can update their system through the update service built into OS X or by manually downloading the patch from the Apple support website.
