#NEW VERSION OF QUICKTIME FOR MAC PRO#
My Pro Tools systems don't directly access the internet, and the chances of a "dodgy source" QuickTime making it on to my system are really quite slim. The advice so far seems to be that Pro Tools and Media Composer users should disconnect their systems from the internet, or at the very least be very careful about opening QuickTime movies from questionable sources. Apparently Avid have been made aware of the issue but it does appear to be a quick fix because QuickTime is so integral to the Avid workflow. As our Pro Tools Windows specialist we asked Alan Sallabank for his thoughts.įor the moment I plan to carry on regardless.

And because Apple is no longer providing security updates for QuickTime on Windows, these vulnerabilities are never going to be patched.
#NEW VERSION OF QUICKTIME FOR MAC PATCH#
These advisories are being released in accordance with the Zero Day Initiative’s Disclosure Policy for when a vendor does not issue a security patch for a disclosed vulnerability.

The story seems to be coming from a post by Trend Micro in which they say. If you are still running 'Source Elements Desktop' please consider upgrading to a standalone version of Source-Connect for security purposes. Uninstalling this software will not affect Source-Connect or related software since version 3.1. We recommend all Windows users uninstall the non-secure QuickTime player. Our friends at Source Elements have issued what they describe as a "Public Service Announcement" because Apple have stopped patching QuickTime for Windows.
