The updates fix a pair of flaws in QuickTime for Java which allowed malicious applets to cause arbitrary code execution or to capture potentially sensitive information stored in memory by the browser.

Since Apple has not updated Samba for two years, Symantec recommends users download and install Samba 3.0.25 (or later) from www.samba.org, or at least disable Windows Sharing until Apple does issue an update.
