Integer overflow in the FlipFileTypeAtom_BtoN function in Apple Quicktime 7.1.5, and other versions before 7.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted M4V (MP4) file.

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is older than 7.2.  Such versions contain several vulnerabilities that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host if he can trick the user to open a specially-crafted file with QuickTime.

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Mac OS X host is older than 7.2.  Such versions contain several vulnerabilities that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host if he can trick the user to open a specially crafted file with QuickTime.

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is older than 7.2.  Such versions contain several vulnerabilities that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host if he can trick the user to open a specially crafted file with QuickTime.

According to its version, the installation of QuickTime on the remote Windows host is affected by a flaw in the way that it handles malformed Java byte code.  An attacker exploiting this flaw would need to be able to convince a user to browse to a malicious site.  Further, the browser must be Java-enabled and have a vulnerable version of QuickTime installed.  Successful exploitation would result in the attacker executing arbitrary code on the client system.  In addition, this version of QuickTime is vulnerable to an integer overflow and a heap overflow.  An attacker exploiting either of these flaws will be able to execute code on the remote machine.
