CVE: N/A

CWE: N/A

Hi @ll,
the just released iTunes 12.0.1 for Windows still (cf.
<http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Jul/30>) comes
with COMPLETELY outdated and VULNERAEBLE 3rd party libraries
(as part of AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi):
* libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll 0.9.8d
are more than SEVEN years old and have at least 27 unfixed CVEs!
* libcurl.dll 7.16.2
is more than SEVEN years old and has at least 18 unfixed CVEs!
the current version is 7.38.0;
see <http://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html>
for the fixed vulnerabilities!
Until Apple's developers, their QA and their managers start to
develop a sense for safety and security:
stay away from their (Windows) software!
regards
Stefan Kanthak
