This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Apple QuickTime. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Apple QuickTime is prone to an integer-overflow issue because it fails to properly verify user-supplied input. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
