Bugs and Fixes: updates to Windows iTunes, Java, and Internet Explorer

November 01, 2013

Update, update, update: Form that habit now, if you haven't already, to keep up with security fixes. The latest include the usual tweaks to fend off malicious attacks, and a fix to Java that should prevent it from disabling itself constantly. That would be nice. Apple updates Windows iTunes to 11.1.2 The 11.1.2 version of iTunes for Windows (10/22/2013) fixes several potential security issues. The program could be crashed if someone of sufficiently evil intent exploited memory access flaws in the handling of text tracks. A bug related to WebKit memory corruption issues could allow nefarious beings to insert themselves between iTunes and the iTunes store. It has also been addressed with this update. Finally, Apple has updated its usage of libxml and libxslt to 2.9.0 and 1.1.28, respectively, to ward off potential tampering that could cause unexpected program shutdowns or the running of malicious code.
