What is CVE-2004-0169?

The QuickTime Streaming Server in MacOS X versions 10.2.8 and 10.3.2 is susceptible to a denial of service attack. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending DESCRIBE requests with excessively long User-Agent fields. This triggers an Assert error in the BufferIsFull function, causing the server to crash. Organizations using the affected versions should consider applying security updates to mitigate this risk.
