Security & Privacy

Apple has issued two security updates for QuickTime, which moves to version 7.6, and the QuickTime MPEG-2. This update patches seven issues, most of which deal with “Viewing a maliciously crafted movie file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.” These issues involve MPEG-2 files, H.263 encoded files, AVI files and more. Detailed information regarding this update is available here. You can install the update via Software Update, or by download from Apple’s QuickTime download page.
