iTunes 10.5.1

iTunes 10.5.1 is uitgebracht door Apple. iTunes 10.5 integreerde de mediaspeler met de nieuwe webdienst iCloud. Versie 10.5.1 introduceert het betaalde (24,95 dollar) iTunes Match, waarmee ook eigen cd's in de iCloud geplaatst kunnen worden. Deze service is voorlopig alleen in de Verenigde Staten beschikbaar, maar komt vermoedelijk volgend jaar naar Europa.

iTunes 10.5.1 is te downloaden voor Mac OS X en Windows XP, Vista en 7. iTunes is ook in het Nederlands vertaald.

Release notes:
Introducing iTunes Match. Store your entire music library in iCloud, including music you've imported from CDs, and enjoy your collection anywhere, anytime, on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, computer, or Apple TV.

Impact: A man-in-the-middle attacker may offer software that appears to originate from Apple

Description: iTunes periodically checks for software updates using an HTTP request to Apple. This request may cause iTunes to indicate that an update is available. If Apple Software Update for Windows is not installed, clicking the Download iTunes button may open the URL from the HTTP response in the user's default browser. This issue has been mitigated by using a secured connection when checking for available updates. For OS X systems, the user's default browser is not used because Apple Software Update is included with OS X, however this change adds additional defense-in-depth.
