CVE-2006-1454
Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickDraw PICT image format file with malformed image data.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (7.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
