Apple QuickTime FLIC movie buffer overflow
| quicktime-flic-bo (28930) |  High Risk |
Description:
Apple QuickTime is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of the COLOR_64 chunk in a FLIC movie file. By creating a malicious FLIC file and persuading a victim to open the file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and cause the victim's QuickTime application to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code on the victim's system with the privileges of the user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending the malicious file as an email or attachment or hosting it on a Web site.
