Impact: Viewing a maliciously crafted RTSP movie may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A buffer overflow exists in QuickTime's handling of Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) headers. By enticing a user to view a maliciously crafted RTSP movie, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by ensuring that the destination buffer is sized to contain the data.
Impact: Viewing a maliciously crafted QTL file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A heap buffer overflow exists in QuickTime's handling of QTL files. By enticing a user to view a maliciously crafted QTL file, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking.
Impact: Multiple vulnerabilities in QuickTime's Flash media handler
Description: Multiple vulnerabilities exist in QuickTime's Flash media handler, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution. With this update, the Flash media handler in QuickTime is disabled except for a limited number of existing QuickTime movies that are known to be safe.

Linden Lab has sent a warning about a dangerous exploit in QuickTime which may allow an attacker to crash or exploit the viewer. This exploit affects QuickTime usage on every platform.
It is believed that the exploit works when someone comes nearby and is within view of a bugged object, the viewer activates QuickTime so it can play the stream. In doing so, QuickTime directs the viewer to a web site. By exploiting the flaw in QuickTime, hackers can direct the viewer to a malicious web site that then allows them to take over the avatar or they could create a program embedded in an avatar's and have it activated in a way that a passing avatar would have no clue whatsoever that it had just been pickpocketed.
Linden Lab's advice is that you disable streaming video playback in the viewer except when you are attending a known and trusted venue.
- Open your Preferences dialog
- Uncheck "Play Streaming Video When Available" checkbox on the "Audio & Video" tab
