Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of QuickTime installed on the remote Windows host is older than 7.3.1. Such versions contain several vulnerabilities that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host if he can trick the user to open a specially crafted RTSP movie, QTL file, or Flash media file with QuickTime.

Solution

Either use QuickTime's Software Update preference to upgrade to the latest version or manually upgrade to QuickTime 7.3.1 or later.
