Apple has released a patch which fixes eight vulnerabilities on Windows Vista for their Quicktime multi-media player software. Part of the bugs that were fixed are security vulnerabilities which could make the software crash or run a malicious code on it.

Kirk McElhearn who is an author of Mac OS and other Apple products said “Arbitrary code execution means someone can stick a payload into a QuickTime movie or an image file and it can activate but, given the way Macs work … if something is going to touch parts of system, you are going to get an authentication dialog. It’s not going to happen without people knowing, no matter what.”
