Quicktime < 6.5.2

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15573

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a Mac OS X update that fixes a security issue.

Description

The remote Mac OS X host is running a version of Quicktime that is older than Quicktime 6.5.2.

The remote version of this software reportedly fails to check bounds properly when decoding BMP images, leading to a heap overflow.

If a remote attacker can trick a user into opening a maliciously crafted BMP file using the affected application, this issue could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the affected host.

Solution

Upgrade to Quicktime 6.5.2 or later.
