Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple QuickTime, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system. These issues are caused by memory corruption and implementation errors when processing specially crafted PICT images, AAC-encoded or Indeo video codec media contents, and "file:" URLs, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash an affected application, launch arbitrary applications and files on a vulnerable system, or execute malicious code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page or opening a malformed file.
