Overview

Apple Knowledgebase article HT1241. Exploitation of these
vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

image and media files are handled. An attacker could exploit these
vulnerabilities by convincing a user to access a specially crafted
image or media file that could be hosted on a web page.

may be vulnerable.
II. Impact

to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. For
