Mac OS X: Not Perfect

The Register has an article about a "mega-patch" for Mac OS X 10.3.9 (the OS X before Tiger) that fixes 19 flaws. One of the flaws would let a hacker remotely take control of a computer. From the article:


The update fixes flaws ranging from the way the OS handles TIFF image files to security controls over how files are passed using Bluetooth short-range wireless technology.

Flaw in TIFF rendering? There shouldn't be way to exploit programs that simply read data files. I'm glad they patched these holes. And Tiger is showing to be solid so far.
