TITLE

Apple QuickTime Heap overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application termination) and execute arbitrary code via an AVI movie file with an invalid nBlockAlign value in the _WAVEFORMATEX structure. 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 within the parsing of AVI files. Apple QuickTime is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow issue because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted movie file. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects Apple QuickTime running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, and Mac OS X. Apple QuickTime is a very popular multimedia player.

This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted RTSP URL is accessed. 2) An error due to improper validation of transform matrix data exists when processing Track Header (THKD) atoms in QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movie files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted QTVR file. 4) A boundary error exists in the processing of MPEG-2 video files containing MP3 audio content, which can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted movie file. 6) A signedness error exists within the processing of the MDAT atom when handling Cinepak encoded movie files. 7) An error exists within the function JPEG_DComponentDispatch() when processing the image width data in JPEG atoms embedded in STSD atoms.
