CVE-2010-0516 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted movie file with RLE encoding, which triggers memory corruption when the length of decompressed data exceeds that of the allocated heap chunk.. EPSS estimates a 4.61% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
