    Not to be outdone by Redmond, Cupertino released an update to their baby yesterday. This from eWeek:

    Apple Computer Inc. on Monday released an update to its Mac OS X client software, called "Panther," as well as a security fix for the recently revealed hole in a graphics library used by Unix-based operating system such as Linux and Panther. The files were delivered through the company's Software Update service.

    Security Update 2004-08-09 addresses a vulnerability in the PNG library, aka libpng, a collection of graphics routines that manipulate PNG (portable network graphics) files. PNG, an alternative to the GIF format, is now common to Web sites.

    So Mac's are now safe from the possible PNG attack - does anyone know if any other platforms have issued updates to address this?
