All After installing the Apple Security Update 2005-05 for 10.3.9, my machine now freezes when rat starts. An X11 window opens, as usual, and then a short while later my machine freezes requiring a restart.
Has anyone else experienced this? I also installed the following updates at the same time. Java Update for 10.3.9 Quicktime 7.0 Remote Desktop Admin. 2.2 Security Update 2005-05 X11 fixes in update: # libXpm CVE ID: CAN-2004-0687 CERT: VU#882750 Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9 Impact: A vulnerability in the parsing of malformed XPM files could allow arbitrary code execution Description: The xpmParseColors() function in the XFree86 libXpm library contains a vulnerability in the parsing of malformed image files that may lead to a stack overflow and could allow arbitrary code execution. Images downloaded via a web browser may use the XPM format and allow remote exploitability. libXpm is not installed by default on Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server systems. It is an optional install item via the X11 package.
