TITLE

Apple QuickTime In Macintosh Resource Memory corruption vulnerability in record handling

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2008-001035

DESCRIPTION

Apple QuickTime before 7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a movie file containing a Macintosh Resource record with a modified length value in the resource header, which triggers heap corruption. Apple QuickTime is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted movie file. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects versions prior to Apple QuickTime 7.4 running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and Mac OS X. iDefense Security Advisory 01.15.08 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Jan 15, 2008 I. BACKGROUND Quicktime is Apple's media player product, and is used to render video and other media. For more information visit the vendor's web site at the following URL. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ II. The vulnerability specifically exists in the handling of Macintosh Resources embedded in QuickTime movies. When processing these records, a length value stored in the resource header is not properly validated. When a length value larger than the actual buffer size is supplied, potentially exploitable memory corruption occurs. III. IV. DETECTION iDefense Labs confirmed this vulnerability exists in QuickTime Player version 7.3.1. Previous versions are suspected to be vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workaround for this issue. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Apple has released QuickTime 7.4 which resolves this issue. More information is available via Apple's QuickTime Security Update page at the URL shown below. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307301 VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2008-0032 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.
