CVE-2006-4384
CVSS v2.0
5.1
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apple QuickTime versions prior to 7.1.3
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by a specially crafted FLC movie file, specifically through the COLOR 64 chunk. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, resulting in a loss of integrity. The problem arises from the program's failure to properly validate FLC files, leading to a heap buffer overflow.
Recommendations
For Apple QuickTime versions prior to 7.1.3, update to version 7.1.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of FLC files or restricting access to potentially malicious files until the update can be applied.
