A vulnerability has been detected in the Apple multimedia file server QuickTime Streaming Server, which could allow arbitrary code to be run on affected systems.
According to Apple (*), this security flaw could allow an attacker to create a specially-crafted BMP image that, when viewed with QuickTime, would cause a buffer overflow and allow arbitrary code to be run on the system. The code would be run with the privileges of the user that viewed the image.
In order to resolve this problem, Apple has released an update that is included in Security Update 2004-09-30, available in the Software Update panel in System Preferences, or at: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/.
