QuickTime Security hole – again
A serious security flaw is being reported for the QuickTime player yet again. No fix is available as of this posting. Personally, I would disable it if I had it. This is one buggy piece of software. Don’t let it connect to the Internet. If you have an outbound firewall, block it. Greg Keizer writes in the reference above:
Apple last patched QuickTime less than three weeks ago, when it released Version 7.3 to fix a number of critical image-rendering and Java-related vulnerabilities. So far in 2007, Apple has issued six QuickTime security-related updates that have fixed a total of 31 flaws.
