Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted packed scanlines in PixData structures in a PICT image.
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.
