This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exist in the parsing of Poly type opcodes (opcodes 0x0070-74). Due to improper handling of a malformed element in the structure heap corruption occurs. If properly constructed this can lead to code execution.
