'Security Update 2003-11-04 addresses a potential vulnerability with the Terminal application in Mac OS X v10.3 and Mac OS X Server v10.3 that could allow unauthorized access to a system.'" sandrift writes "Software Update just popped up with Xcode Update 2003-11-03" Apple notes that "The Xcode update addresses an issue in the Xcode IDE that could potentially lead to data corruption or the loss of files particularly when source files contain illegal characters." Apple does not note, however, that Software Update will attempt to quit Terminal.app when installing the Security Update.
