iTunes security update
Apple on Monday released iTunes 8.2, a software update which also addresses a security vulnerability. A stack buffer overflow existed when parsing "itms:" URLs, potentially allowing a maliciously crafted website to cause application termination or arbitrary code execution. The issue has been addressed through improved bounds checking.
The security vulnerability affects both Windows and Mac systems. iTunes 8.2 is available to download directly from Apple.
