Buffer overflow vulnerabilities fixed in QuickTime 7.6
« on: January 25, 2009, 04:57:19 PM »

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3403

I noted that most of the fixes involved buffer overflow.  Thank you COMODO for protecting against buffer overflow vulnerabilities before vendors fix them or before users update!

BO attacks are becoming a more popular exploit. And I don't think any other security suite (or very few) offer this protection.  (V)

over 60% of the vulnerabilities are Buffer Overflow vulnerabilities. Protecting against this very huge vulnerability must be the very first job of ANY security product! (But I don't see others preventing this kind of attack but rely on signature based old technology).
