High

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Microsoft DirectX versions 7.0 through 9.0c

Description: The issue arises from the QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll, which fails to properly validate size fields in QuickTime media files. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.

Recommendations: For Microsoft DirectX versions 7.0 through 9.0c, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in DirectShow to minimize the risk of arbitrary code execution.
