Apple QuickTime PICT File Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple QuickTime is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently validate user-supplied data when parsing PICT images.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user; failed exploit attempts will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to QuickTime 7.6.6 are vulnerable on Windows 7, Vista, and XP.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in 39087 (Apple QuickTime Multiple Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities) but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
