QuickTime 7.5 stopft Sicherheitslücken

In der Softwareaktualisierung: Nicht QuickTime X, sondern QuickTime 7.5 (60MB), das "die Programmkompatibilität" verbessern soll und fünf Sicherheitslücken bereinigt. Die Details zu den behobenen Schwachstellen im Anschluss. Neustart erforderlich.

QuickTime
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1581
Available for: Windows Vista, XP SP2
Impact: Opening a maliciously crafted PICT image file may lead to an
unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: An issue in QuickTime's handling of PixData structures
when processing a PICT image may result in a heap buffer overflow.
Opening a maliciously crafted PICT image may lead to an unexpected

Impact: Opening a maliciously crafted AAC-encoded media content may
lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code
execution
Description: A memory corruption issue exists in QuickTime's
handling of AAC-encoded media content. Opening a maliciously crafted
media file may lead to an unexpected application termination or

Impact: Viewing maliciously crafted Indeo video media content may
lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code
execution
Description: An issue in QuickTime's handling of Indeo video codec
content may result in a stack buffer overflow. Viewing a maliciously
crafted movie file with Indeo video codec content may lead to an
