Was giving the news a scan and found this: http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=196800443From: someone The debut vulnerability is in QuickTime 7's parsing of RTSP (RealTime Streaming Protocol); the protocol is used to transmit streaming audio, video, and 3-D animation over the Web. Users duped into clicking on an overlong rtsp:// link could find their PCs or Macs compromised. It also may be possible to automatically trigger an attack simply by enticing users to a malicious Web site. Since SL uses Quicktime for video, it is conceivable that SL users are susceptible to QT exploits.
