Apple To Patch Dashboard Vulnerability

Posted by Zonk on from the spackle-makes-a-world-of-difference dept.

bonch writes "Apple has quickly patched a previously reported security hole that allows websites to auto-install potentially malicious widgets without prompting the user. The fix is one of over three dozen miscellanous fixes to be included in OS X 10.4.1, code-named 'Atlanta', and may appear by the end of the week. Users will now be prompted before a widget downloads to their hard drive."
