Discussion

Apple QuickTime RTSP Response Reason-Phrase Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple QuickTime is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the user running the affected application. Successful exploits will compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

QuickTime 7.3.1.70 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: Additional information from the reporter indicates this issue affects QuickTime running on the following platforms: Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Apple Mac OS X.
