Apple has released a new security patch for QuickTime, its eighth update this year for the media player software.The update addresses three critical security holes in QuickTime, including a vulnerability that has been used in attacks by online criminals.The most critical of the flaws lies in QuickTime&#39;s implementation of the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), used to play audio and video over the Internet. The flaw was made public Nov. 23, and in early December&#160;attackers began exploiting the flaw in online attacks. By tricking victims into visiting a malicious Web site that exploited the flaw, hackers were able to install malicious software on the victims&#39; PCs.To date, these attacks have targeted Windows-based systems, but security experts say that Mac OS X users are also at risk to the vulnerability. Apple issued patches for both Windows and Mac OS X users on Thursday.The second critical vulnerability, which had apparently not been publicly disclosed , has to do with a flaw in the QuickTime Media Link (QTL) file format used by the media player. Security researchers have recently been looking at the way QuickTime works with these files as a potential source of new bugs.Apple also patched a handful of similar bugs in the way that QuickTime handles Adobe&#39;s Flash media format. The most serious of these flaws could let attackers run unauthorized software on the computer, much as the RTSP bug does, Apple said.With security researchers paying special attention to media format bugs, Apple has had to patch QuickTime frequently this year. Some of these updates have come just weeks apart. Apple last patched QuickTime on Nov. 5.&#160;

Apple kept its rush of year-end security patches coming Monday, issuing a flurry of fixes for its Mac OS X operating system and the test version of its Safari browser.Monday&#39;s patches included a whopping 31 updates for the Apple operating system. The Mac OS X patches fix components ranging from the Address Book and iChat software to under-the-covers operating system components such as ColorSync, the IO Storage Family, and the Perl, Python and Ruby programming languages.Most of these flaws theoretically could be exploited by attackers to run unauthorized software on the Mac, although some of them had other security implications, such as allowing an attacker to gain access to sensitive information or download files to the computer without authorization.These updates are for the Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 operating systems, known as Tiger and Leopard, respectively.Apple also released a minor update to its Safari 3 beta code, which runs on Windows as well as Mac OS X, fixing a cross-site scripting security problem that affects Windows users.The patches come just days after&#160;Apple released a major update to its QuickTime media player and a Java security fix for the Mac OS X 10.4 operating system, code-named Tiger. The QuickTime flaw was particularly serious, as&#160;it had been exploited by online criminals since early December.With hackers and security researchers now paying more attention to Apple&#39;s products, the company&#39;s security team has been working overtime on bug fixes this year. Monday&#39;s patches were Apple&#39;s 35th and 36th security updates this year. In 2006, the company released just 22 sets of patches for its products.
