CVE-2008-3628

TITLE

Windows upper Apple QuickTime In PICT Vulnerabilities related to illegal pointers in image processing

DESCRIPTION

Apple QuickTime before 7.5.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PICT image, related to an "invalid pointer issue.". These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted PICT image files, movies, and QTVR movies. Successful exploits may allow attackers to gain remote unauthorized access in the context of a vulnerable user and to trigger a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.5.5 are affected. NOTE: Two issues that were previously covered in this BID were given their own records to better document the details: - CVE-2008-3626 was moved to BID 31546 ('Apple QuickTime 'STSZ' Atoms Memory Corruption Vulnerability') - CVE-2008-3629 was moved to BID 31548 ('Apple QuickTime PICT Denial of Service Vulnerability'). Apple QuickTime is a very popular multimedia player. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We have updated our website, enjoy! http://secunia.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Apple QuickTime Multiple Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA31821 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/31821/ CRITICAL: Highly critical IMPACT: System access WHERE: >From remote SOFTWARE: Apple QuickTime 7.x http://secunia.com/advisories/product/5090/ DESCRIPTION: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in QuickTime, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) An error in the third-party Indeo5 codec for QuickTime can be exploited to access uninitialised memory via a specially crafted movie file. 2) A boundary error in QuickTimeInternetExtras.qtx when parsing files via the third-party Indeo3.2 codec for QuickTime can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted movie file. 3) A boundary error in the parsing of panorama atoms in QTVR (QuickTime Virtual Reality) movie files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted QTVR file. 4) A boundary error in the parsing of panorama PDAT atoms in QTVR (QuickTime Virtual Reality) movie files can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a QTVR file containing specially crafted "maxTilt", "minFieldOfView", and "maxFieldOfView" elements. 6) An error in the CallComponentFunctionWithStorage() function when parsing STSZ atoms in movie files can be exploited to corrupt memory via a movie file containing a overly large entry in sample_size_table. 7) Multiple errors when parsing H.264 encoded movie files (e.g. an integer overflow when parsing AVC1 atoms and two errors when parsing MDAT atoms) can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted file. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.5.5.
