TITLE

Apple QuickTime In compression PSD Vulnerability to execute arbitrary code related to image processing

DESCRIPTION

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 compressed PSD 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 when the application parses a malformed .PSD image. While decoding the columns, rows and channels in the image header, the application trusts a different length for copying than used for allocating it. This results in a heap overflow and can lead to code execution under the context of the current user. Apple QuickTime is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. A remote attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted image. 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?
