New security flaw in iTunes 6?

CNET reports today that a new security flaw in iTunes was found by eEye Digital Security this week. The report from eEye is quite vague and doesn't include which versions of iTunes are vunerable, but does go on to say that both Mac and Windows platforms are affected by this bug. The severity of this security hole, which allows code to be executed remotely, means that Apple will no doubt be on this ASAP.

We'll keep you posted.

Until you read the article and notice that the only "protection" is to use this company's product (Blink, IIRC). Also note the lack of details as to what can be done and the lack of a proof of concept. Sounds like FUD to me.
