CVE-2009-1538

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Microsoft DirectX versions 7.0 through 9.0c

Description: The issue concerns the QuickTime Movie Parser Filter in quartz.dll, which is part of DirectShow in Microsoft DirectX. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime media file due to improper validation of unspecified data values when updating pointers.

Recommendations: For Microsoft DirectX versions 7.0 through 9.0c, consider restricting the use of the QuickTime Movie Parser Filter until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the affected filter to parse QuickTime media files.
