Bugs and Vulnerabilities
QuickTime 7.4 was found to disable Adobe's video compositing program, After Effects. This was due to the DRM built into version 7.4 since it allowed movie rentals from iTunes. QuickTime 7.4.1 resolved this issue.
Versions 4.0 through 7.3 contained a buffer overflow bug which could compromise the security of a PC using either the QuickTime Streaming Media client, or the QuickTime player itself. The bug was fixed in version 7.3.1.
Some versions of QuickTime prior to version 7.5.5 are known to be vulnerable to a cross-site scripting problem.
QuickTime 7.6 has been found to disable Macintosh users' ability to play certain games, such as Civilization IV and The Sims 2. There are fixes available from the publisher, Aspyr.
QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264 Sample Aspect Ratio . QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.

Famous quotes containing the word bugs:
“It is snowing and death bugs me
as stubborn as insomnia.
The fierce bubbles of chalk,
the little white lesions
settle on the street outside.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
