Apple has released an update for its multimedia software Ilife 8.0 and Aperture 2 running on the Mac OS v10.4.9 through v10.4.11 to fix three major flaws.
The flaws were considered very serious by most security companies. Apple does not rank any of its upgrades in terms of being serious or otherwise. In fact, Apple does not release any details on any of its patches, other than the barest details.
Apparently the bugs could lead to Ilife shutting itself down or being vulnerable to arbitrary code execution.This is security-speak for letting a hacker take over your computer and run what they like on it. The update does not affect those running Mac OS X v10.5.5, but it does affect system software components shared by all Ilife '08 applications.
The fix means that a hacker can't take control of your system by getting you to download a poisoned TIFF or JPEG file. X
