QuickTime Vulnerable. Again. Still.

The popular QuickTime Player was patched, and once more is leaking. This time public code exists for the exploit, and Apple has no patch (a zero-day exploit). The exploit crashes ActiveX, but the Firefox browser passes the code on to QuickTime, making that platform a bit more vulnerable than MSIE (for a change). You can read Symantec’s description HERE. If you’re like me and fed up with the QuickTime bloat, uninstall QT and get a copy of QuickTime Alternative, an open-source solution. Use version 1.95 on Windows XP and Vista, 1.90 on Windows 2000 and 1.81 on Windows 98.
