Discussion

RETIRED: Apple QuickTime Multiple Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities

Apple QuickTime is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities that may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted PICT image files, Indeo video content, movie files, 'file:' URIs, and AAC-encoded media. Successful exploits may allow attackers to gain remote unauthorized access in the context of a vulnerable user; failed exploits will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to QuickTime 7.5 are affected.

NOTE: This BID is being retired; the following individual records have been created to better document the issues:
