Apple has posted a security update for iSync to address an issue with a component of the synchronization software called mRouter. The buffer overflow vulnerability the security update corrects could allow an intruder to gain root access to your Mac.
Security Update 2005-004 is for iSync 1.5 in Mac OS X v10.2.8 and Mac OS X v10.3.x. The download weighs in at 1.1 megabytes, and can be downloaded through Software Update in Mac OS X.
TMO recommends the update for all users.
