| Detailed Description |
The QuickTime Player is vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the RTSP URL handler. Apple's QuickTime Player is a player that allow users to view local and remote multimedia content. QuickTime Player versions prior to 7.1.3.191 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by a stack-based buffer overflow when handling RTSP URLs. By convincing a user to open a specially crafted QTL file with an overly long (more than 256 bytes) "src" parameter, an attacker could cause QuickTime to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
