I tunes problems: Or you could buy an mp3 song elsewhere and actually be able to use it on ANY mp3 player (even $10 ones!) by simply dragging and dropping in windows explorer! AMAZING! (being sarcastic of course).

CVE-2009-0143
Summary: Apple iTunes before 8.1 does not properly inform the user about the origin of an authentication request, which makes it easier for remote podcast servers to trick a user into providing a username and password when subscribing to a crafted podcast.

Published: 03/14/2009
CVSS Severity: 4.3 (MEDIUM)
CVE-2009-0016
Summary: Apple iTunes before 8.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) message with a crafted Content-Length header.

Published: 03/14/2009
CVSS Severity: 5.0 (MEDIUM)
CVE-2008-5406
Summary: Stack-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime Player 7.5.5 and iTunes 8.0.2.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a MOV file with "long arguments," related to an "off by one overflow."

Published: 12/10/2008
CVSS Severity: 9.3 (HIGH)
CVE-2008-4116
Summary: Buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime 7.5.5 and iTunes 8.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long type attribute in a quicktime tag (1) on a web page or embedded in a (2) .mp4 or (3) .mov file, possibly related to the Checkstackcookie function and an off-by-one error that leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Published: 09/18/2008
CVSS Severity: 9.3 (HIGH)
CVE-2008-3636
VU#146896Summary: Integer overflow in the IopfCompleteRequest API in the kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for GEARAspiWDM.sys 2.0.7.5 in Gear Software CD DVD Filter driver before 4.001.7, as used in other products including Apple iTunes and multiple Symantec and Norton products, which allows local users to gain privileges via repeated IoAttachDevice IOCTL calls to .GEARAspiWDMDevice in this GEARAspiWDM.sys. However, the root cause is the integer overflow in the API call itself.

Published: 09/11/2008
CVSS Severity: 7.2 (HIGH)
CVE-2008-3634
Summary: Apple iTunes before 8.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.11, when iTunes Music Sharing is enabled but blocked by the host-based firewall, presents misleading information about firewall security, which might allow remote attackers to leverage an exposure that would be absent if the administrator were given better information.

Published: 09/11/2008
CVSS Severity: 2.6 (LOW)
CVE-2008-3434
Summary: Apple iTunes before 6.0.5.20 does not properly verify the authenticity of updates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse update, as demonstrated by evilgrade and DNS cache poisoning.

Published: 08/01/2008
CVSS Severity: 7.5 (HIGH)
CVE-2007-3752
Summary: Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple iTunes before 7.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via crafted album cover art in the covr atom of an MP4/AAC file.

Published: 09/06/2007
CVSS Severity: 9.3 (HIGH)

Summary: Unspecified vulnerability in pfilter-reporter.pl in Astaro Security Gateway (ASG) 7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via certain network traffic, as demonstrated by P2P and iTunes applications that download large amounts of data.

Published: 08/08/2007
CVSS Severity: 7.8 (HIGH)
CVE-2007-1008
Summary: Apple iTunes 7.0.2 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted XML list of radio stations, which results in memory corruption. NOTE: iTunes retrieves the XML document from a static URL, which requires an attacker to perform DNS spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks for exploitation.

Published: 02/20/2007
CVSS Severity: 2.6 (LOW)
CVE-2006-1467
VU#907836Summary: Integer overflow in the AAC file parsing code in Apple iTunes before 6.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later, and Windows XP and 2000, allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AAC (M4P, M4A, or M4B) file with a sample table size (STSZ) atom with a "malformed" samplesizetable value.

To those who think this is anti-Apple, I am merely reporting verifiable facts as found on the Internet. With links for your own corroboration. Not just mere FUD, BS or empty biased worthless claims. All I know is I've had issues with Apple software under Windows. Especially the Bonjour service. Of course depending on your perspective, this could be construed as Apple bashing. I disagree. I think that information in itself is neither good or bad. But I believe in security through awareness, not blind faith... Not that I trust Microsoft either. But I believe Windows 7 is Vista done properly, finally...

And no I do not like iTunes.

Not intentional, but rather a bug.

So Stuart, I'm glad to see that while PC World has dumped MANY of it's magazine editors that you are still releasing patch articles.



Good luck.
