Very bad
QuickTime runs outside the IE sandbox, so not even the IE or Chrome sandboxes can mitigate this.

Lets hope they patch really quick.

It'll solve the same thing your suggestion to ditch XP will.  AzuMao | 06/03/09
How about just ditching QUICKTIME.  Scubajrr | 05/29/09
Doesn't matter...  Erroneous | 05/29/09
Quicktime format is flawed by design  NonZealot | 05/29/09
That is why I refuse...  Erroneous | 05/29/09
@NonZealot  Axsimulate | 05/29/09
@Ax: a little practice reading would do you a lot of good  NonZealot | 05/29/09

@axsimilate. First, nowhere does it say "even with QT NOT installed".  xuniL_z | 05/29/09
Yet Again...  rm.squires@... | 05/29/09
Easier said than done  UAC nanny screen | 05/29/09

But the majority of people....  storm14k | 05/29/09
Your point is? (nt)  ye | 05/29/09
You won't like the extension to your comment  NonZealot | 05/29/09

RE: V*sta is pretty much irrelevant these days.  dougbeer | 05/31/09
22.86% of the market share...  Erroneous | 05/29/09
Ever so slightly  UAC nanny screen | 05/29/09
Oh.  Jkirk3279 | 05/29/09

Popular myth  honeymonster | 05/30/09
So what - What does that prove..  UAC nanny screen | 05/31/09
How was your math grade?  honeymonster | 06/02/09

RE: Dangerous Microsoft DirectX vulnerability under attack  shellcodes_coder | 05/28/09
If you had actually read the article...  msalzberg | 05/28/09
hmm  shellcodes_coder | 05/29/09
It isn't Quicktime.  Erroneous | 05/29/09
If that were so, why is MS picking on Apple?  xuniL_z | 05/30/09
Umm... Worng again!  wineaux | 05/29/09
you are correct. That is why QT parsing needs disabled.  xuniL_z | 05/30/09
I guess you missed this part...  msalzberg | 05/29/09
Not a bad response  LiquidLearner | 05/28/09

One other thing, Ryan...  RocketEater | 05/29/09
Why is it any time quicktime gets involved...  Spiritusindomit@... | 05/29/09
Try again...  RocketEater | 05/29/09
Yeah, but if you care about this topic...  Spiritusindomit@... | 05/29/09
I suggest deleting Quicktime for now and even forever.  Gillman_Zorgam | 05/29/09
Apparently you didn't read...  MKleinpaste | 05/29/09

Actually...  MKleinpaste | 05/29/09
You sure about that?  UAC nanny screen | 05/31/09
Is Problem DirectX version specific?  wkulecz | 05/29/09
The better fix is to avoid all QuickTime files  NonZealot | 05/29/09
How many times do I have to say this...  MKleinpaste | 05/29/09
No, the problem is in rigged QuickTime files  NonZealot | 05/29/09
Reading Comprehension...  MKleinpaste | 05/29/09
Say it all you like, doesn't change the facts.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/29/09
Yawn...  Jkirk3279 | 05/29/09
QuickTime seems pretty good at it?  NonZealot | 05/29/09
That has nothing to do with this issue  UAC nanny screen | 05/29/09
But you admit then that QuickTime is a security nightmare?  NonZealot | 05/29/09
Oh it's got it's problems all right...  UAC nanny screen | 05/29/09
Any vulnerabilities for VLC?  JCitizen | 06/01/09

Windows Vista and 7 not affected!  tech_walker | 05/29/09
I know this will start a debauchle but..  billbryan516 | 05/29/09
Apple was already caught red handed doing this  NonZealot | 05/29/09
Oh come now.  ye | 05/29/09
