New version of QuickTime (7.0.3)
Apple announced a new version of QuickTime, 7.0.3 which fixes couple of security vulnerabilities. All of these vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely, by downloading malicious content and range from integer overflows to denial of service attacks.
They also affect both QuickTime on Mac OS X (v10.3.9 or later) and Microsoft Windows 2000, XP.
QuickTime 7.0.3 can be installed via Software Update preferences or downloaded from Apple downloads (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime703.html).

Thanks to Mike Savory for pointing out that this update was actually released on 12th of October, but the security advisory was released yesterday.
Update - We have received one report from a user that had an early version of Quick - v5x - installed, and he dropped us a note that says "When I selected "Update Existing Software", it said "Your Quick Time software is up to date." So, contrary to the instructions in the article, "installed via Software Update preferences" may not be a viable option and may lead the less skeptical user to believe nothing more needs to be done." Thanks Gary!
