Music fans were this week urged to update their iTunes software following the discovery of a serious security bug that creates a means for hackers to take over vulnerable systems.
A bug in code used by iTunes 4.X to parse MPEG-4 files means that maliciously-crafted media files can crash vulnerable versions of the application. In the process, hostile code can be injected into vulnerable systems. A classic buffer overflow attack. iTunes users are advised to update to version 4.8, which features improved validation checks, to guard against possible exploitation.
Danish security reporting firm Secunia rates the iTunes bug as "highly critical". Exploitations of both Mac OS and Windows machines running iTunes is possible - providing an attacker tricks a user into opening a malicious MPEG-4 file with a vulnerable version of iTunes.
Dose anyone even use iTunes as their media player?!
Only iPod idiots ;)
i hate this shitty fucking software, it cant even clear out database
if u delete few files, u see exclamamtion marks, dman there aint ni fucking option to clearing ot such enteries
and well any1 who has ipod, knows that itunes cant read tags
Quick question: dose anyone know if there is any other software that I can use to get music on to my iPod? I don't like iTunes but its the only thing I know that transfers music to the iPod.
