Apple Fixes QuickTime 7 Vulnerability

Apple this week issued a minor update to the newly released QuickTime 7, which has yet to make its appearance on Windows. Version 7.0.1 resolves a security vulnerability in which a malformed Quartz Composer object can send personal data to an arbitrary location on the Web.

The update also improves compatibility with Final Cut Studio and provides several bug fixes. QuickTime 7.0.1 is recommended for all Mac OS X 10.4 users, as well as those running 10.3.9. Apple has not yet said when QuickTime 7 for Windows will become available for download.
