Colonel Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Today, Apple released a new security update for Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Mac OS X 10.4.8 Server. The update fixes security issues with QuickTime for Java and Quartz Composer. Apple gives us the following description about the update: Description: 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. When this facility is used in conjunction with Quartz Composer, it becomes possible to capture images that may contain local information. This update addresses the issue by disallowing Quartz Composer compositions in unsigned Java applets. Quartz Composer compositions continue to function locally. Applications and signed Java applets that utilize QuickTime and QuickTime for Java are unaffected. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. It also does not affect the Windows platform. Credit to Geoff Beier for reporting this issue. As usual, the update is available though Software Update and Apple's documentation site.

kramer2k Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 All working fine with Nebukadnezzar (27 nov.) kernel Anyone with success using AMD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Anyone with success using AMD? At this point, you should realize that most Apple updates are only guaranteed to work for Intel systems. Chances are, this update would ruin your install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 From what it contents I doubt it, Quartz Composer and QuickTime for Java fixes. EDIT1: This Universal Update is not Universal, it didn't work on my PowerBook. EDIT2: I used the Software Update and after reboot no problems at all.

Rammjet Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 There is nothing in the update that should directly affect Natit or even Titan. The update installs 3 Quicktime packages, 2 of them having to do with Java: QTJava.zip (in Library -> Java -> Extensions folder) QuickTimeJava.bundle (in Library -> QuicktimeJava folder) QuartzComposer.component (in Library -> Quicktime folder) It also appears to update the plists for several of the Apple apps.

macgirl Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Natit screws the display Itself, every time I boot I got different situation, sometimes the monitor is not recognized, sometimes blank/black display, sometimes no cursor at all, sometimes with TV and Monitor change the main window, sometimes I got Portrait resolutions instead of Landscape.
