APPLE-SA-2006-12-19 Security Update 2006-008

Security Update 2006-008 is now available and provides a fix for the
following security issue:

QuickTime for Java
Quartz Composer
CVE-ID: CVE-2006-5681
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.8, Mac OS X Server v10.4.8
Impact: Visiting a malicious web site may lead to information
disclosure
Description: Java applets may use QuickTime for Java to obtain
the images rendered on screen by embedded QuickTime objects and
upload them to the originating web site. When this facility is
used in conjunction with Quartz Composer, it becomes possible to
capture images that may contain local information. This update
addresses the issue by disallowing Quartz Composer compositions
in unsigned Java applets. Quartz Composer compositions continue
to function locally. Applications and signed Java applets that
utilize QuickTime and QuickTime for Java are unaffected. This
issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. It also
does not affect the Windows platform. Credit to Geoff Beier for
reporting this issue.
