Apple just like Microsoft: slow to fix Quicktime flaw

Apple waited three weeks to patch several bugs in its popular Quicktime video player, mirroring Microsoft’s behavior with its ubiquitous Windows operating system.

The new patch released Thursday, brings Quicktime to version 7.3.1 and corrects a problem with the real-time streaming protocol.

Hackers could exploit the flaw by convincing users to visit web sites that contained malicious streaming content, or by getting users to open a corrupt QTL file sent as an e-mail attachment.
