Discussion

Apple iTunes Multiple URI Handler Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple iTunes is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks before copying user-supplied data to an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
