Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple QuickTime versions prior to 7.7.8

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the QuickTime multimedia package. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, resulting in memory corruption and application crash, via a crafted file.

Recommendations For Apple QuickTime versions prior to 7.7.8, update to version 7.7.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of crafted files that could trigger the buffer overflow until a patch is applied.
