On Aug. 4, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team identified the vulnerability in the libpng library, which is used to display Portable Networks Graphic images.
According to CERT, remote hackers could access systems via malformed PNG images, which also could cause systems to crash.
The patch from Apple protects libpng libraries within the updated Mac OS X 10.3.5 operating system, Apple executives say.
