CVE-2008-1021
Heap-based buffer overflow in Animation codec content handling in Apple QuickTime before 7.4.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted movie with run length encoding.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.95%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
