TITLE

Apple QuickTime of CallComponentFunctionWithStorage Function memory corruption vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The CallComponentFunctionWithStorage function in Apple QuickTime before 7.5.5 does not properly handle a large entry in the sample_size_table in STSZ atoms, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted movie file. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists in the handling of STSZ atoms within the function CallComponentFunctionWithStorage(). Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects versions prior to QuickTime 7.5.5 for OS X 10.4 and 10.5, for Microsoft Windows Vista, and for Windows XP SP2 and SP3. The issue also affects Apple TV 1.0 up to and including 2.1. NOTE: This issue was previously described in BID 31086 (Apple QuickTime Movie/PICT/QTVR Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document the vulnerability. Apple QuickTime is a very popular multimedia player.
