The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling RTSP URLs. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted QTL file with an overly long (more than 256 bytes) "src" parameter (e.g. "rtsp://[any character]:[>256 bytes]"). Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 7.1.3.100 (Windows version) and reportedly affects both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X versions. SOLUTION: Do not open untrusted QTL files.
