Apple QuickTime Compressed PICT Data Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A remote buffer overflow vulnerability affects Apple QuickTime. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may leverage this issue to cause the affected QuickTime client to crash, denying service to legitimate users. It has been speculated that this issue may also facilitate code execution; any code execution would occur with the privileges of the user that activated the affected software.

This issue affects both Microsoft Windows, and Apple versions of QuickTime.
