HTTP: Apple QuickTime Obji Atom Parsing Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Apple Quicktime. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the application.

Extended Description

Apple QuickTime is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities that may allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, and carry out denial-of-service attacks. These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted Java applets, image files, and movie files. Successful exploits may allow attackers to obtain sensitive information, gain remote unauthorized access in the context of a vulnerable user, and trigger a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.4.5 are affected by these vulnerabilities.
