Apple has released a patch for a serious flaw in QuickTime that could allow hackers to take control of an unpatched system.

The security update to QuickTime 7.1.6, published Tuesday, fixes two issues in the way QuickTime works on the Java platform. The most serious of these problems could give criminals a way of taking control of an unpatched computer, Apple said in a security alert.
 
Quicktime is a nasty application.

Not only is it bloat, but every few weeks it seems another serious security flaw is found...
