The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when processing WMV files. This can be exploited to cause memory corruption via a specially crafted WMV file with a manipulated "ASF_File_Properties_Object" size field. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is reported in Flip4Mac Windows Media Components for QuickTime Version 2.1.0.33. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open WMV files from untrusted sources.
