Last Update Date: 28 Jan 2011 Release Date: 7 Apr 2008 4378 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple QuickTime, which could be exploited by remote attackers to disclose sensitive information or take complete control of an affected system. These issues are caused by memory corruption and implementation errors when processing specially crafted Java applets, data reference atoms, movie media tracks, movie files with Animation codec, "crgn" and "chan" atoms, records, Clip opcode and error messages within PICT images, and "obji" atoms in VR movie files, which could be exploited by remote attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page.
