High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple Quicktime versions prior to 7.2

Description The issue is related to an integer overflow in the handling of certain file types, specifically M4V (MP4) files. This overflow can be triggered by a crafted file, allowing a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code, which results in a loss of integrity. The estimated number of potentially affected devices and details about real-world incidents are not specified.

Recommendations For Apple Quicktime versions prior to 7.2, update to version 7.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of crafted M4V files until the issue is resolved. Restrict access to untrusted files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
