CVE-2011-0252
Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted STTS atoms in a QuickTime movie file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
