Heap-based buffer overflow in quickTime.qts in Apple QuickTime before 7.4.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image file with Kodak encoding, related to error checking and error messages.
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.
