iTunes Arbitrary Program Execution
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://www.apple.com/itunes/> iTunes is a popular service allowing you
to play music, buy music, download music, share music, create playlists,
etc."
The lack of validation of data provided in a search path allows attackers
to cause iTunes to execute arbitrary programs.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* iTunes 5 for Windows
Immune Systems:
* iTunes 6 for Windows
Due to the way iTunes 5 for Windows launches its helper application,
multiple system paths are searched to determine which program to run. This
allows a malicious user on the local system to create an environment where
an alternate program will be executed by iTunes.
