Apple patches 11 software vulnerabilities
Apple has released a new patch for its QuickTime player, fixing security flaws for both the Mac and Windows versions; the fix covers 11 vulnerabilities, 9 of which, according to Apple, would enable an attacker to remotely execute code on the machine. This takes the software to version 7.4.5.
QuickTime for Mac OS X has 8 such fixes, 5 of which could be exploited by hackers with the help of specially-crafted movie files. Three of the flaws can be exploited with the help of Pict files. All these flaws allow remote code execution. |
