A new version of Apple QuickTime fixes 15 vulnerabilities, nearly all critical.

All 15 fixes affect the Windows versions of QuickTime. 13 of them affect the Mac version as well.

14 vulnerabilities come from failure to handle maliciously-crafted input, either particular image types or movie files. These bugs could lead to remote code execution. A single Windows-only problem comes from improper permissions set on a QuickTime directory and can lead to unauthorized access of sensitive information.

Remember, if you run iTunes it is likely integrated with QuickTime. You may need to update that as well. Make sure to run Apple Software Update to check.
