Descriptions

QT Media Foundation in Apple OS X before 10.9.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted movie file with RLE encoding.

QT Media Foundation en Apple OS X anterior a 10.9.5 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) a través de un fichero de vídeo con codificación RLE.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of RLE encoded data in the mdat atom. An attacker can use this flaw to write outside the allocated buffer, which could allow for the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
