Description:
iDEFENSE has reported a vulnerability in QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an assert error when parsing certain DESCRIBE requests. This can be exploited to disrupt functionality by sending such a request with specially crafted "User-Agent" fields containing more than 255 characters.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 4.1.3. Other versions may also be affected.
