  • Oracle Calendar
  • Office 2004 applications (Word, Excel, etc)

There are several other applications mentioned in online articles about this security update, such as the TidBITS article at http://tidbits.com/article/12768.

Users are advised to not install this security update until these issues are resolved. If you are prompted to install Apple software updates, first click the Show Details button if necessary, then uncheck the box for Security Update 2012-001. Other pending updates can safely be installed.
