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.
Tom Ferris of Adobe Secure Software Engineering Team (ASSET), Mike Price of McAfee Avert Labs, and Lionel d'Hauenens and Brian Mariani of Syseclabs reported the Flash media vulnerability.
