Apple Adds to Patch Tuesday

Apple joins the the Tuesday patch party and releases a security update for Quicktime along with a bugfix update for iTunes. The patches are for the software on both Windows and OS X.

The Quicktime update, to version 7.2 includes eight security vulnerability fixes some of which will allow code execution. It also includes updates to the H.264 codec, support for full screen viewing and “numerous bug fixes”. The update requires a reboot on both Mac and Windows.

The iTunes update brings iTunes to 7.3.1 and fixes a problem with iTunes 7.3 accessing the library. No other changes are documented.

Both patches are available through Apple software update or from the Apple download page.
