For more information: SA46288 SA45793 SA46987 SA47779 SA47410 2) An assertion error in BIND when handling DNS records can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). For more information: SA46887 3) An error in BIND can be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information or cause a DoS. For more information: SA49338 4) An error in the CoreText component when handling text glyphs can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and potentially compromise an application using the component. 5) An error in the DirectoryService Proxy can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. 6) Errors in the ImageIO component when parsing PNG images can be exploited to corrupt memory. For more information: SA48026 SA48587 7) An integer overflow error in the ImageIO component when parsing TIFF images can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. For more information: SA48684#1 8) A previous fix did not properly address an error in the Installer component that allowed users to obtain account information.
