QuickTime: heap overflow allows arbitrary code execution via malicious STSD atoms in movie files (CVE-2007-3750)
Description
A heap buffer overflow exists in QuickTime Player's handling of Sample Table Sample Descriptor (STSD) atoms. By enticing a user to open a maliciously crafted movie file, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of STSD atoms. Credit to Tobias Klein of www.trapkit.de for reporting this issue.
