QuickTime < 7.1.6 Security Update (Windows)

high Nessus Plugin ID 25347

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is affected by multiple issues.

Description

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is less than 7.1.6.200, the version associated with Apple's Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6). As a result, a remote attacker who can trick a user on the affected system into opening a malicious Java applet using QuickTime may be able to execute arbitrary code remotely subject to the user's privileges or to gain read access to the web browser's memory.

Solution

Either use QuickTime's Software Update preference to upgrade to the latest version or apply Apple's Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6) or later.
