QuickTime Player versions prior to 7.1.5 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities. By convincing a user to open a specially-crafted 3GP, MIDI, MOV, PICT, or QTIF file, an attacker could cause QuickTime to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
