Apple has released it's first update patch for Quicktime 7. Quicktime 7.0.1 is available on the Apple sit here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ ... me701.html

No details are given on the nature of the update though some on Apple's Discussion forum have said it has resolved various issues caused by Quicktime 7.

Hopefully more details will become available as to what this patch is patching.

Impact: With QuickTime 7.0, a QuickTime movie containing a maliciously crafted Quartz Composer object can leak data to an arbitrary web location.
Description: Quartz Composer objects can be wrapped in a QuickTime track and delivered as a QuickTime movie. With QuickTime 7.0, a Quartz Composer object can gather local data and send it using an encoded URL to an arbitrary web location. The QuickTime 7.0.1 update modifies the QuickTime Quartz Composer Plugin to prevent access to remote web locations. Credit to David Remahl (www.remahl.se/david) for reporting this issue.

The link on this patch hasn't even gotten cold yet and already folks are saying it fixed this but now it ruined that. So much for a smoothe transition to Tiger.
