Description
David Remahl has reported a weakness in Apple QuickTime, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose some system information.

The problem is that Quartz Composer compositions embedded in ".mov" files can access certain system information, which can be disclosed to web sites via JavaScript. This can e.g. be exploited to disclose the local username and directory information by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web site.

Solution
Update to version 7.0.1.
