Information about the update http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304460 also details "critical vulnerabilities" in Adobe Flash Player that "may lead to arbitrary code execution when handling maliciously-crafted content". Another vulnerability meant that, by carefully crafting a corrupt JPEG2000 image, an attacker could trigger a buffer overflow which could lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. Flaws in the LoginWindow, Quickdraw manager and other OS components that result in application crash, arbitrary application execution or denial of service have also been fixed. Functionality fixes include resolution of a problem with Microsoft Word in which Word might stop responding when saving a file that uses certain OpenType fonts and an issue for Microsoft PowerPoint in which the display resolution might not change as expected after switching from a PowerPoint presentation to a different application via Command-Tab.{moscomment}
