Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Multiple buffer overflow, heap overflow, and integer overflow |
41 |
vulnerabilities were discovered in the Quicktime plugin when processing |
42 |
MOV, FLC, SGI, H.264 and FPX files. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted video |
48 |
file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with |
49 |
the privileges of the user running the application. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All Win32 binary codecs users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose |
63 |
">=media-libs/win32codecs-20071007-r2" |
64 |
|
65 |
Note: Since no updated binary versions have been released, the |
66 |
Quicktime libraries have been removed from the package. Please use the |
67 |
free alternative Quicktime implementations within VLC, MPlayer or Xine |
68 |
for playback. |
