Quicktime Player buffer overflow bug

US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#112179
Apple QuickTime RTSP Response message Reason-Phrase buffer overflow
vulnerability

That would be you apparently.

Yes, funny that only deep Google searches turn up this kind of stuff
isn't it?

Nothing deep about it -- information on Mac vulnerabilities is easy to
find, despite Apple's dangerous coyness -- and the list of security
fixes rushed out by Apple is pretty long.

One virus that may exist and another exposes a vulnerability that may do
something.

That's dangerously naive. Good luck. You'll need it.

Meanwhile, update your Windows box, another 3,000 real viruses came out
yesterday. LOL

My Windows box is quite secure, thank you, probably more secure than any
Mac I know of.

According to Bruce Schneier, "Security is a process, not a product."
But you know more about security than he does, right? Likewise other
security professionals? ;)
