Apple released a security update for its QuickTime media software. The patch, a 1.4 megabyte download, repairs two issues in which an outside user could both execute malicious code as well as access critical information on a Mac.

The update can be accessed via Mac OS X’s Software Update feature and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later to run. For more information on Apple QuickTime 7.1.6 Security Update 1.0, click here.
