QuickTime 7.4.5 Improves Security, More

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 at 8:20 AM - by

Apple released QuickTime 7.4.5 on Wednesday. The update for the multimedia playback and support system included security-related enhancements, improved compatibility with third-party applications, and improved reliability.

The update addressed issues where Java applets could potentially gain elevated privileges, downloading specially crafted movie files could result in information disclosure, and viewing maliciously crafted movies or PICT files could crash applications or lead to arbitrary code execution.

QuickTime 7.4.5 is available via Apple's Software Update application, or as a download at the Apple Support Web site. Versions are available for Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5, and Microsoft Windows.
