While Apple itself has been relatively quiet regarding its plans for QuickTime for Windows, the company reportedly told Trend Micro recently that “the product would be deprecated on Windows and the vendor would publish removal instructions for users.” Apple has yet to officially confirm this on their website, however.

The two new vulnerabilities are heap-corruption-based remote code execution vulnerabilities, which essentially means that an attacker could gain access to a user’s computer by tricking them in to downloading a file from the web.

The note follows an earlier report from Trend Micro and comes as two new vulnerabilities have been discovered that could affect QuickTime for Windows users.

The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team has today issued a new note in which it revealed that Apple has no further plans to provide security updates for QuickTime for Windows.
