  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple buffer overflow, heap overflow, and integer overflow
    vulnerabilities were discovered in the Quicktime plugin when processing
    MOV, FLC, SGI, H.264 and FPX files.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted video
    file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Win32 binary codecs users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/win32codecs-20071007-r2"</code>
    <p>
    Note: Since no updated binary versions have been released, the
    Quicktime libraries have been removed from the package. Please use the
    free alternative Quicktime implementations within VLC, MPlayer or Xine
    for playback.
    </p>
