Apple today warned that opening or viewing image files could lead to
remote code execution attacks against Mac OS X users.
In an update that contains fixes for a total of 19 documented
vulnerabilities, Apple said malicious hackers could rig PNG (Portable
Network Graphics) and other images to take complete control of unpatched
Mac systems.
