Medium

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.6.3

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a crafted movie file with M-JPEG encoding. This is due to a heap-based buffer overflow in QuickTime, where the buffer size is calculated using height and width fields, but a different field is used to control the length of a copy operation.

Recommendations For Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.6.3, update to version 10.6.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of M-JPEG encoded movie files in QuickTime until the update is applied.
