Apple kills QuickTime for Windows, two vulnerabilities announced

Trend Micro says Apple will no longer provide security updates to QuickTime on the Windows platform. Apple says the end-of-life is due to the fact that most recent media programs no longer use QuickTime to play common formats. The vulnerabilities are heap corruption flaws that require users to visit a malicious webpage, making them perfect for drive-by-downloads or Phishing. Apple told Trend Micro that support for QuickTime would end back in March, but the public didn’t learn about it until this week.”]
