Security Update for iTunes and QuickTime

Apple has released an update to fix a number of security issues within QuickTime and iTunes.

QuickTime version 7.6.2, resolves an exploit whereby hackers creating a movie or graphics file could use this file to execute malicious code on your computer. iTunes version 8.2, fixes a stack buffer overflow problem which again could allow hackers to run code if the user visits a “maliciously crafted website”.

The updates to these applications apply to both Mac and Windows users.
