QuickTime users should update their software to the latest version (7.5). The update supposedly adds performance enhancements and addresses security issues dealing with the way QT handles PICT files, AAC-encoded media, URLs and Indeo video.
An issue in QuickTime's handling of PixData structures when processing a PICT image may result in a heap buffer overflow. Opening a maliciously crafted PICT image may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking. This issue does not affect systems running Mac OS X. Credit to Dyon Balding of Secunia Research for reporting this issue.
