QuickTime Security Fixes

Apple has released updates to its QuickTime software that include security fixes for both the Windows and Mac versions. We consider this critical as the number of people running QuickTime software is large. Here's a summary of the issues (full details can be found on Apple's site):


  • Viewing a maliciously-crafted 3GP file may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution (OS: Windows Vista/XP/2000)

  • Viewing a maliciously-crafted MIDI file may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution (OS: Mac OS X and Windows Vista/XP/2000)

  • Viewing a maliciously-crafted Quicktime movie file may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution (OS: Mac OS X and Windows Vista/XP/2000)

  • Viewing a maliciously-crafted PICT file may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution (OS: Mac OS X and Windows Vista/XP/2000)

  • Opening a maliciously-crafted QTIF file may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution (OS: Mac OS X and Windows Vista/XP/2000)
