Upgrade: Apple QuickTime
Users affected: All Users
When: Wednesday, Sept 17, 2008
A recent update is available for Apple QuickTime, a commonly installed application on desktops and workstations used to present multimedia content. This latest version of Apple QuickTime; 7.5.5 patches nine security vulnerabilities in QuickTime.

All the vulnerabilities allow an attacker to create specially‐crafted movie or pictures to compromise targeted computer systems. Vulnerable systems: Windows and MAC computers running Apple QuickTime Player versions earlier than 7.5.5

Recommendations: Users with QuickTime installed on their computers should ensure they have the latest version of the software by going to the Help menu in QuickTime and selecting "About QuickTime Player". You should see version 7.5.5 displayed in the window. If you do not have the latest version installed go to the Help menu and select "Update Existing Software" and follow the instructions to download version 7.5.5.
