Apple kept its rush of year-end security patches coming Monday, issuing a flurry of fixes for its Mac OS X operating system and the test version of its Safari browser.Monday&#39;s patches included a whopping 31 updates for the Apple operating system. The Mac OS X patches fix components ranging from the Address Book and iChat software to under-the-covers operating system components such as ColorSync, the IO Storage Family, and the Perl, Python and Ruby programming languages.Most of these flaws theoretically could be exploited by attackers to run unauthorized software on the Mac, although some of them had other security implications, such as allowing an attacker to gain access to sensitive information or download files to the computer without authorization.These updates are for the Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 operating systems, known as Tiger and Leopard, respectively.Apple also released a minor update to its Safari 3 beta code, which runs on Windows as well as Mac OS X, fixing a cross-site scripting security problem that affects Windows users.The patches come just days after&#160;Apple released a major update to its QuickTime media player and a Java security fix for the Mac OS X 10.4 operating system, code-named Tiger. The QuickTime flaw was particularly serious, as&#160;it had been exploited by online criminals since early December.With hackers and security researchers now paying more attention to Apple&#39;s products, the company&#39;s security team has been working overtime on bug fixes this year. Monday&#39;s patches were Apple&#39;s 35th and 36th security updates this year. In 2006, the company released just 22 sets of patches for its products.

(InfoWorld) - Apple has patched a number of critical flaws in its QuickTime media player. With the 7.2 update, users can now view videos on the full screen with the QuickTime player, but the software also contains a number of critical security fixes. In total, Apple has addressed eight security vulnerabilities with the release, which was made public on Wednesday. Four of the flaws are due to memory corruption or integer overflow bugs that could cause the viewer to crash if QuickTime were used to view maliciously crafted movies or files. Another three critical flaws relate to design issues in QuickTime for Java. Attackers could theoretically exploit these flaws by posting malicious Java applets on a Web site, where they could then compromise a victim's computer. A final QuickTime for Java bug could "lead to the disclosure of sensitive information," Apple said in its security alert on the update. Also on Wednesday, Apple pushed out a new release of its iTunes music software that fixes "a minor problem with iTunes 7.3 accessing the iTunes Library," the company said. The QuickTime and iTunes updates are available for download by both Windows and Mac OS X users.

MacCentral - 2005 is "the year of HD video editing," Apple CEO Steve Jobs told the Macworld Conference &amp; Expo San Francisco keynote crowd, and he backed up the pronouncement by introducing Final Cut Express HD as well as a new version of iMovie that supports 720p and 1080i high-definition video. The latter is part of the new iLife '05 software bundle. Jobs also noted that QuickTime 7, which will be included with Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger" when the upgrade ships during the first half of 2005, will include the H.264 video codec that is part of the competing high-definition DVD formats, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.
