TITLE

Apple QuickTime of Clip Instruction code buffer overflow vulnerability

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2008-001283

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in Clip opcode parsing in Apple QuickTime before 7.4.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image file. These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted Java applets, image files, and movie files. Successful exploits may allow attackers to obtain sensitive information, gain remote unauthorized access in the context of a vulnerable user, and trigger a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.4.5 are affected by these vulnerabilities. Apple QuickTime is a very popular multimedia player. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released. The new version includes many new and advanced features, which makes it even easier to stay patched. 1) An implementation error in QuickTime for Java allows untrusted Java applets to deserialize objects provided by QTJava. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code e.g. when a user visits a malicious web page. 2) An unspecified error in the handling of external URLs embedded in movie files can lead to information disclosure. 3) An input validation error in the handling of data reference atoms within movie files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted movie is viewed. 4) An unspecified error in the handling of movie media tracks can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when a specially crafted movie is viewed. 8) A boundary error in the handling of error messages when processing PICT images can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X systems. 9) A boundary error in the handling of Animation codec content can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted movie file is viewed. NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X systems. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.4.5.

I. Description Apple QuickTime 7.4.5 vulnerabilities in the way different types of image and media files are handled. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to access a specially crafted image or media file that could be hosted on a web page. Note that Apple iTunes installs QuickTime, so any system with iTunes may be vulnerable. II. For further information, please see Apple knowledgebase article HT1241 about the security content of QuickTime 7.4.5 III. Solution Upgrade QuickTime Upgrade to QuickTime 7.4.5. 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.
