Apple QuickTime PICT Image Remote Multiple Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Apple QuickTime is prone to multiple heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted PICT image file.

Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

These issues affects Apple QuickTime running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and Mac OS X.
