CVE-2005-2743
The Java extensions for QuickTime 6.52 and earlier in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 allow untrusted applets to call arbitrary functions in system libraries, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.66%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
