Apple releases iLife Support update to patch security issues
Apple today released a security update for iLife '08, called iLife Support 8.3.1. The update "improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues," according to Apple. They recommend the update for all users of iLife '08 who are still using Tiger (up to Mac OS X 10.4.11). Leopard users are unaffected.
According to the Apple Knowledge Base, the update addresses three issues with ImageIO, a system component that allows applications to read and write popular image formats. Two of the issues were discovered by Apple, and concerned the way the component handled specially-created TIFF and JPEG images. Google found a third problem also related to meticulously-crafted TIFF images. All three issues, unpatched, could "lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution."
The update can be downloaded via Software Update, or directly from Apple.

Nothing in Software Update here. Maybe they pulled it?

It only affects you if you're using Tiger.

Oops! Should read it more carefully. Thanks.
People still run Tiger? :)

People still use Windows 3.1 but then it is probably more reliable than Vista :)

I rather liked Windows 3.1. My only complaint was how the OS would come to a grinding halt during print operations.
Mind you, in Windows XP, things do the same sometimes when a network connection fails.
Good thing OS X Leopard is perfect. ;-)
