Description:

Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple memory-corruption vulnerabilities that occur in Apple Pixlet Video. This issue occurs when a malformed file is processed by the Pixlet codec.

An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a malicious file. Successfully exploiting these issues will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application.
