Security & Privacy

Apple has released a security update for QuickTime, the company’s media framework. This update fixes 15 vulnerabilities, dealing with the way QuickTime handles videos and images. The update is available via Software Update, and is also available from Apple’s QuickTime downloads page. More information about this update is available here.

Note that this update is only for Macs running Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard. (There is also an update for Windows.) The fixes for these issues were included in the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update, so Snow Leopard users don’t need to apply this update.
