TITLE

Apple QuickTime Vulnerable to buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Multiple buffer overflows in Apple QuickTime before 7.7.3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted style element in a QuickTime TeXML file. These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted files. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user; failed exploit attempts will cause denial-of-service conditions. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.7.3 are vulnerable on Windows 7, Vista, and XP. This BID is being retired. Apple QuickTime is a multimedia playback software developed by Apple (Apple). The software is capable of handling multiple sources such as digital video, media segments, and more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The final version of the CSI 6.0 has been released.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 7.7.3. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.7.3.
