Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a H.264 (M4V) video format file with a certain modified size value.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
