Apple has issued an update to its QuickTime media player software to plug at least three security holes, including one that cyber criminals already are using to break into vulnerable systems.
The new version, QuickTime 7.3.1, is available for Mac and Windows. Mac users can grab the update via the built-in Software Update feature. Windows users who have QuickTime already installed can get the fixes using the Apple Software Update program that ships with QuickTime.
