  Apple patches QuickTime for Macs, Windows
Time: 05:10 EST/10:10 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Apple Computer on Tuesday released an update to its QuickTime media player software that fixes seven security flaws, all of them serious.

The QuickTime vulnerabilities affect both Windows and Apple Mac OS X machines. Apple's update comes on the same day the company announced new digital music and video plans. Also, Microsoft on Tuesday released fixes for Office and Windows flaws.

The security flaws in QuickTime are all due to the application's failure to properly check and sanitize files in several formats: H.264, QuickTime, FLC, FlashPix and SGI. An attacker could craft a malicious file in any of those formats which, when opened, would fully compromise a vulnerable system or cause QuickTime to crash.
