also,
it is spread through the safari web browser, and through the OS X's built-in e-mail client, Mail. An attacker can exploit the flaw by sending a malicious script with a harmless-looking extension such as .jpg; if sent as an attachment using the AppleDouble compression format, the script can be made to execute when the user clicks on it, according to FrSIRT.

sorry for posting this ben, but i just had to rub it in :D
