TITLE

Apple QuickTime In JP2 Image Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted JP2 image. 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 during the parsing of malformed Jpen2000 image files. A field is read directly from the file and used to allocate memory for a structure. If the value read is smaller then the expected structure size then a memory corruption will occur which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user. Apple QuickTime is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. A remote attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted file. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects Apple QuickTime running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP SP3, and Mac OS X. Versions of QuickTime prior to 7.6.2 have multiple security vulnerabilities that allow users to cause a denial of service or completely compromise a user's system through malformed media files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you missing: SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: Critical: Impact: Where: within the advisory below?
