Apple has released a security fix for its QuickTime media player software, fixing a critical bug that had been worrying security experts for nearly a month.The update, released Wednesday, fixes a vulnerability in the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) used by QuickTime to handle streaming media.On Jan. 10, researcher Luigi Auriemma disclosed the flaw by posting proof-of-concept attack code that could be used to run unauthorized software on a victim&#39;s computer. For the attack to work, the criminal would have to first trick the user into viewing a maliciously encoded QuickTime media file.With the attack code available, security researchers had been hoping that Apple would address the flaw. Wednesday&#39;s QuickTime 7.4.1 update is for both the Mac OS X and Windows operating systems.It is Apple&#39;s fifth QuickTime update since October. The company has been forced to issue the flurry of patches as security researchers have taken a closer look at media player flaws during the past year. In December, Apple patched a separate RTSP vulnerability, which online criminals had already started to use in their attacks.&quot;In the past few months, QuickTime has been a prevalent target for security researchers,&quot; said Andrew Storms, director of security operations with nCircle Network Security. &quot;Internet media applications on the desktop have been a rich target for attackers, and this trend is sure to continue as most users aren&#39;t yet accustomed to attacks arriving in the form of a viral video.&quot;
