TITLE

Apple QuickTime fails to properly handle malformed movie files

DESCRIPTION

QuickTime for Java in Apple Quicktime before 7.2 does not perform sufficient "access control," which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (screen content) via crafted Java applets. Apple QuickTime fails to properly handle malformed movie files. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. Apple QuickTime is prone to an information-disclosure and multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities. Remote attackers may exploit these issues by enticing victims into opening maliciously crafted files or visiting maliciously crafted websites. Failed exploit attempts of remote code-execution issues may result in denial-of-service conditions. Successful exploits of the information-disclosure issue may lead to further attacks. Apple QuickTime is a popular multimedia player that supports a wide variety of media formats. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Try a new way to discover vulnerabilities that ALREADY EXIST in your IT infrastructure.

This can be exploited to cause memory corruption and may allow execution of arbitrary code when a user accesses a specially crafted H.264 movie. 2) An unspecified error exists in the processing of movie files. 3) An integer overflow error exists in the handling of .m4v files and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user accesses a specially crafted .m4v file. 4) An integer overflow error exists in the handling of the "author" and "title" fields when parsing SMIL files. 5) A design error exists in QuickTime for Java, which can be exploited to disable security checks and execute arbitrary code when a user visits a web site containing a specially crafted Java applet. 6) A design error exists in QuickTime for Java, which can be exploited to bypass security checks and read and write to process memory. This can lead to execution of arbitrary code when a user visits a web site containing a specially crafted Java applet. 7) A design error exists in QuickTime for Java due to JDirect exposing interfaces that may allow loading arbitrary libraries and freeing arbitrary memory. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user visits a web site containing a specially crafted Java applet. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 7.2. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.2.

I. Description Apple QuickTime 7.2 resolves multiple vulnerabilities in the way Java applets and various types of media files are handled. Since QuickTime configures most web browsers to handle QuickTime media files, an attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities using a web page. Note that QuickTime ships with Apple iTunes. For more information, please refer to the Vulnerability Notes Database. II. For further information, please see the Vulnerability Notes Database. III. Solution Upgrade QuickTime Upgrade to QuickTime 7.2. This and other updates for Mac OS X are available via Apple Update. On Microsoft Windows, QuickTime users can install the update by using the built-in auto-update mechanism, Apple Software Update, or by installing the update manually. Disabling QuickTime in your web browser may defend against this attack vector. For more information, refer to the Securing Your Web Browser document. Disabling Java in your web browser may defend against this attack vector. Instructions for disabling Java can be found in the Securing Your Web Browser document.
