“Less than a week after its QuickTime media player made the top-ten list of most vulnerable Windows applications, Apple shipped QuickTime 7.3 to patch… at least seven vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution attacks,” Ryan Naraine blogs for ZDNet.
“The update, available for both Mac and Windows (XP and Vista) users, also includes the removal of QuickTime for Java [QuickTime for Java no longer accessible to untrusted Java applets], a move that significantly reduces the attack surface on the company’s flagship digital media player,” Naraine reports.
Naraine details the seven fixes Apple has provided in QT 7.3 in the full article here.
