Description: Two vulnerabilities were reported in QuickTime. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted QTL file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a heap overflow and execute
arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2007-4706]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
A remote user
can create a specially crafted Flash media file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a flaw in the QuickTime Flash
media handler and execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2007-4707]. The code will run with the privileges of the target
user.
