News Apple Releases Security Update 2007-001 Tuesday, January 23, 2006 - 5:35 PM EST Posted by: Glenn Apple has released Security Update 2007-001 via Mac OS X's Software Update Utility and on the Web. The update specifically addresses a possible security flaw in QuickTime. According to the company, "A buffer overflow exists in QuickTime's handling of RTSP URLs. By enticing a user to access a maliciously-crafted RTSP URL, an attacker can trigger the buffer overflow, which may lead to arbitrary code execution. A QTL file that triggers this issue has been published on the Month of Apple Bugs web site (MOAB-01-01-2007). This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of RTSP URLs." The update weighs in at 4.9MB. Post a Comment:   Discuss   More News
