Apple Fixes Critical Holes

[HardOCP News]

Apple has updated its open-source Darwin Streaming Server to fix two critical security holes that can allow a remote attacker to hijack the server.

An attacker can trigger the overflow by sending specially crafted RTSP requests, after which he or she can remotely execute code on the victimized system. The update fixes the overflow vulnerability with additional validation of such requests.

Kinda funny how we're so used to Microsoft patches that we rarely mention new ones, but Apple's patches are announced instantly.
