[sldev] Latest SL / Quicktime issue in the news...

[Mitch McKenzie]

Perhaps someone on this list would take a stab at explaining how this
issue is an Apple issue and not a Second Life issue? Why would we expect
Apple to understand the cash transfer system of SL in order to defeat
this bug? As I understand it, this is an RTSP issue. Yet, before anyone
can access my Linden account, they have to go through the LL servers do
they not? So claiming this is solely a client side issue seems really
odd to me as also the claim that "we are waiting on Apple to fix it", is
really a goofy idea as well. As near as I can tell, the hacker is really
just sending malicious code instead of an actual stream, this coode is
somehow accessing the client and allowing lindens to be transferred
without prior permission. What am I missing here?
