Apple released security patch for QuickTime

• Apple Inc. has patched a vulnerability in its QuickTime media player that could give a hacker control over a computer.
• The problem concerns a buffer overflow that can occur when QuickTime processes a RTSP URL (Real Time Streaming Protocol Uniform Resource Locator), which directs the player to a streaming file and allows a user to play and pause it.
• A hacker could create a malicious RTSP URL embedded in a Web page that would could open a door for other harmful code to run on a machine, Apple said. The patch comes more than three weeks after researchers who are part of the Month of Apple Bugs (MOAB) project published exploit code.
• The patch is available through Apple's download page, or it can be delivered through Apple's Software Update service.
