Apple releases iTunes, security updates

by Dave Caolo Mar 1st 2006 at 5:15PM

Apple has made both iTunes 6.0.4 and Security Update 2006-001 available via Security Update. According to Apple, iTunes 6.0.4 "...addresses stability and performance issues related to Front Row," and today's security update improves the security of the following components:

  • apache_mod_php
  • automount
  • Bom
  • Directory Services
  • iChat
  • IPSec
  • LaunchServices
  • LibSystem
  • loginwindow
  • Mail
  • rsync
  • Safari
  • Syndication
Go and get 'em, folks.

Update: Reader Bob points out that iPhoto has also been updated. It's now at version 6.0.2, which, according to Apple, "...resolves several minor issues with playing shared slideshows in Front Row." Thanks, Bob!

I'm having a problem in itunes, I wondered if anyone here knows how to get around it. A couple updates ago, there was a new option to change videos to Movies or Music Videos. Next we got the option to change them to TV Shows. However, since you can't edit the 'Show' 'Episode #' or 'Season' anywhere, the ipod doesn't recognize them. Has this been discussed somewhere else? Does anyone know a way around this?

Tom, how lame... if you read the Security Update 2006-001 TechNote you will see the update does fix the exploit so you with or with out Shaft the exploit has been "fixed" as well as another exploit.

Ha! It doesn't break Saft, and in fact the latest version of Saft fixes the Safari exploit by itself, so I'm not even sure if this update fixes it without Saft. Gotta love that plugin.

After I installed the update my machine won't even start it shows the desktop and the spotlight icon at the top right but that is all. Any suggestions or theories?
