Not surprisingly, the error referenced affects both Mac and PCs, and a security patch is available.

My read is that it affects neither Macs nor PCs -- just corrupts MySpace profiles. It won't infect my machine, and unless I'm dumb enough to follow a phishing link and give them personal info, no harm to me. Or did I miss something?

Apparently the myspace hack just affects myspace, but there is a theoretical hack that could infect Quicktime and the other files I mentioned. As Swordmaker pointed out, worst case scenario on the Mac is that it might crash Quicktime
