Danish security management company has released a security advisory report for the current version of QuickTime, version 7.1.3. According to Secunia, QuickTime’s flaw can cause buffer overflow in handling RTSP URLs. This flaw can then allow the exploiter to direct the user to malicious websites. Secunia rates this QuickTime vulnerability ‘highly critical.’ Both Mac and Windows versions of QuickTime are both vulnerable, Secunia.

Secunia’s security report is based on Month of the Apple Bugs (MOAB)’s report. The Month of Apple Bugs is run by LMH and et al. LMH is a person who only identifies himself as LMH, and MOAB has chosen January as the security awareness month for Mac OS X.
