TITLE

Apple Mac OS X Integer Overflow Vulnerability in Quick Look

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2009-002341

DESCRIPTION

Integer overflow in QuickLook in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Microsoft Office document that triggers a buffer overflow. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability that affects QuickLook. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code and compromise the affected computer. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition. NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 36956 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-006 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it. An integer overflow exists in QuickLook's handling of Microsoft Office files. Downloading a malicious Microsoft Office file may cause the application to terminate unexpectedly or execute arbitrary code
