CVE-2010-0516: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Mar 30 2010(Updated: )
Heap-based buffer overflow in QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted movie file with RLE encoding, which triggers memory corruption when the length of decompressed data exceeds that of the allocated heap chunk.
