Detail

Apple QuickTime contains multiple vulnerabilities as described in the Apple Knowledgebase article HT1991. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

I. Description

Apple QuickTime prior to version 7.5 has multiple image and media file handling vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to access a specially crafted image or media file that could be hosted on a web page. Apple QuickTime 7.5 addresses these vulnerabilities.

Note that Apple iTunes for Windows installs QuickTime, so any system with iTunes may be vulnerable.

II. Impact

These vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. For further information, please see Apple knowledgebase article HT1991 about the security content of QuickTime 7.5

III. Solution

Upgrade QuickTime

Upgrade to QuickTime 7.5. This and other updates for Mac OS X are available via Apple Update.
