iTunes users at risk from hackers | |

Users of Apple's iTunes software need to upgrade immediately to avoid their computers being compromised, security experts have warned. Hackers can build malicious playlist files which they can use to crash the application and seize control of the computer by inserting Trojan code, according to security firm iDefence. The rogue playlists can be identified by their unusually long URLs. |

I'm having a hard time understanding this one. Hopefully someone can explain it.
If the vulnerability exists in parsing playlists, wouldn't someone have to get control of your computer in the first place, then create the playlist? I don't see how you can download a playlist. I found my playlists in iTunes Music Library.xml. Again, wouldn't someone have to inject this code into that file? |
