Title: Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Movie File Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Apple QuickTime is a media player that supports multiple file formats.
The application is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow issue because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The problem occurs when handling MPEG-2 video files with MP3 audio content.
An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted movie file.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
This issue affects Apple QuickTime running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Mac OS X.
