TITLE

Apple QuickTime In PICT Buffer overflow vulnerability in image decoding

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted compressed PICT image, which triggers the overflow during decoding. Apple QuickTime is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted PICT file. 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. If a user is tricked into opening a malicious PICT file, this overflow may be triggered, resulting in denial of service or execution of arbitrary instructions. I. Description Apple QuickTime 7.4 resolves multiple vulnerabilities in the way different types of image and media files are handled. Note that Apple iTunes installs QuickTime, so any system with iTunes is vulnerable. II. For further information, please see About the security content of QuickTime 7.4. III. Solution Upgrade QuickTime Upgrade to QuickTime 7.4. This and other updates for Mac OS X are available via Apple Update. Secure your web browser To help mitigate these and other vulnerabilities that can be exploited via a web browser, refer to Securing Your Web Browser.

The new version includes many new and advanced features, which makes it even easier to stay patched. 2) An error exists in the processing of Macintosh Resources embedded in QuickTime movies. This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via an overly large length value stored in the resource header in a specially crafted QuickTime movie file.

For more information see vulnerability #3 in: SA29650 2) A boundary error in the handling of "crgn" atoms in movie files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. For more information see vulnerability #5 in: SA29650 3) A boundary error in the handling of "chan" atoms in movie files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. For more information see vulnerability #6 in: SA29650 4) An error in the handling of "file:" URLs can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary programs. For more more information see vulnerability #5 in: SA29293 5) A boundary error when handling RTSP replies can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
