<em style='font-weight:bold;'>(Description Provided by <a href="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-3614" target="_blank">CVE</a>)</em> : Integer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.5.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PICT image, which triggers heap corruption.

Solution

Upgrade to version 7.7.5 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. It is also possible to temporarily work around the flaw by implementing the following workaround: iDefense recommends disabling the QuickTime Plug-in and altering the .pic and .pict file type associations within the registry. Disabling the plug-in will prevent web browsers from utilizing QuickTime Player to view associated media files. Removing the file type associations within the registry will prevent QuickTime Player and Picture Viewer from opening .pic and .pict files.
