Yes I understood that too, but I find it equally important too alert people that it is not in SL itself the problem arises, you could be hit by malicious code in Opera,IE, FireFox … any browser Using Apple Quicktime while streaming from an RSTP source is where the exploit happen, by triggering code from a stack overflow.

So I just wanted too point out that it is not just when being in SL, streaming video could compromise your computer.

Hi Dogma – you’re right that QuickTIme is the culprit. My heads-up was purely to warn SL users that using their viewer contained risk at this stage until they turn off video streaming

“Testing indicates that QuickTime versions 4.0 through 7.3 are vulnerable on all supported Mac and Windows platforms.”

Attention! If you are reporting on security flaws maybe you should get your facts straight before. This is not Linden Labs Issue, it’s an issue with the code of Apple Quicktime, hence you can be hit with this streaming video from any malicious webpage with quicktime on MAC OSX or XP SP2, not only in SecondLife.
