Discussion

Apple Mac OS X Pixlet Video Handling Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a code-execution issue because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted movie file.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.6 (both client and server).

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 33759 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-001 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
