This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the MP4/MP4V/M4V file format. A successful attack can lead arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Apple QuickTime is prone to multiple vulnerabilities because it fails to properly bounds-check and sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the victim user running the vulnerable application. Successful exploits may facilitate a remote compromise of affected computers.
