Second Life Viewer Warning

It seems that Second Life’s viewer can also be affected by this exploit which was recently found with Quicktime. We all know that Second Life uses Quicktime to play in-world movies and because of this the viewer can be open to exploits too. It is strongly suggested to turn off or disable videos for the mean time until a fix is developed. Also, the exploit does not only affects Second Life’s viewer but all platforms that use Quicktime.

I haven’t really used that feature for some time now. I think the last time I watched a streaming video in Second Life was almost 3 months ago. I disabled it, together with voice chat, because both features are giving me too much lag in-world.

Anyway, there is a new viewer and the windlight viewer is also updated. The problem I encountered now with the windlight viewer is that it tells me that my machine is below the required specifications to run Second Life. WHAT! I think there is a bug in windlight’s hardware detection because I can run windlight without any problems.
