Security update for QuickTime 7.0

Madrid, June 3, 2005 - A vulnerability has been detected in Apple´s multimedia player QuickTime 7.0, which could allow an attacker to obtain personal user data from affected systems. All users of QuickTime 7.0 for Mac OS-X are advised to update to QuickTime 7.0.1.

The flaw lies in the possibility to encrust a malicious Quartz Composer object in a QuickTime movie. If a user views the movie with an affected version of QuickTime, the object will be able to read local system data and send it to a remote web location, where an attacker can retrieve it.
