Apple Quick Time Patch Fixes 15 Flaws

Summary: Apple released an update bringing QuickTime to version 7.6.9 that fixes at least 15 security holes in the media player, including several critical bugs that could be exploited to install malicious software if a user loads a poisoned media file. The update is available for both Mac and Windows versions, delivered through Apple Software Update on Windows and Software Update on Mac, and Apple's support note describes it as for Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) with no mention of Snow Leopard.
What you should know: Fifteen flaws in a media player that opens untrusted files mean a single poisoned media file could install malicious software, and the patch's Leopard-only scope leaves Snow Leopard users without a stated fix.
