Quicktime 7.5 live in your Software Update

Quicktime 7.5 is now available in Software Update if you want to fire it up. Thus far, the only information regarding the second digit update is that it is a security update.

If not for the security information mailing list I am on, I’d have no idea that there even was an update awaiting me.

Until more information surfaces (other than the 60 MB size), I’ll simply leave a copy of the security notification after the jump.
