These can be exploited by untrusted Java applets to disclose sensitive information or to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges when a user visits a web page containing a malicious Java applet. 5) A boundary error in the processing of PICT image files can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a user opens a specially crafted PICT image file containing an invalid length for the "UncompressedQuickTimeData" opcode. 6) Errors exist in the parsing of Poly type opcodes (opcodes 0x0070-74) and the PackBitsRgn field (Opcode 0x0099) when processing PICT image files. The vulnerabilities are reported in QuickTime prior to version 7.3. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.3.
