Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple QuickTime, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An unspecified error exists in the handling of Sorenson 3 video files, which can be exploited to cause a memory corruption and may allow execution of arbitrary code.
2) An error exists in the processing of Macintosh Resources embedded in QuickTime movies. This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via an overly large length value stored in the resource header in a specially crafted QuickTime movie file.
3) An error in the parsing of malformed Image Descriptor (IDSC) atoms can be exploited to cause a heap corruption via a specially crafted movie file.
4) A boundary error exists within the processing of compressed PICT images and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
