Apple has had to fix dozens of flaws in its QuickTime player this year. In an update released at the beginning of this month, the company patched up seven security holes in the media player. The following week, the company patched 41 other vulnerabilities in software that ships with its Mac OS X operating system.

Attackers have increasingly focused on media player software , especially Microsoft’s Windows Media Player and Apple’s QuickTime player, because the applications have become a ubiquitous feature of PCs and Macs.
