Apple Computer Inc. has released new versions of its QuickTime software for both the Mac and Windows operating systems. The update addresses several serious security flaws with the software. A malicious individual could take advantages of the flaws by creating a modified QuickTime file that executes arbitrary code when run. This type of vulnerability could lead to a full system compromise.
Affected file types that have been corrected include QuickTime, MIDI, 3GP, PICT and QTIF files. Also updated today was Apple's iTunes software for both operating systems. The update adds support for the Apple TV device, which aims to bridge the gap between PC equipment and televisions by using a home network to stream multimedia using the iTunes software.
