Apple Updated Xcode to v2.3 for Developers

Xcode 2.3 can be downloaded from this Apple Web page. Xcode 2.3 is Apple Computer's integrated development environment for Mac OS X. The full Xcode package is free to ADC members and includes all the tools you need to create, debug, and optimize your own Universal applications, targeting both Intel and PowerPC platforms. At the heart of Xcode 2.3 is a graphical workbench that tightly integrates a syntax-highlighting text editor, a robust build control system, a debugger, and the powerful GCC compiler capable of targeting both Intel and PowerPC regardless of host platform.

It fixes the following security issue:

WebObjects CVE-2006-1466 -- The WebObjects Xcode plug-in provides the ability to manipulate projects through a network service. This service is accessible to remote systems while Xcode is running. This update addresses the issue by limiting this service to the local system. This issue does not affect default installations of Xcode Tools. Only systems with the WebObjects plug-in installed are affected. Credit to Mike Schrag of mDimension Technology for reporting this issue.Impact: If you install WebObjects developer tools, remote
attackers may be able to obtain or modify WebObjects projects
while Xcode is running
