Discussion

Apple QuickTime 'QTPlugin.ocx' ActiveX Control Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Apple QuickTime 'QTPlugin.ocx' ActiveX control is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application that invoked the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

These issues affect QuickTime 7.4.1 and prior versions.
