TITLE

Windows Run on Apple QuickTime Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Apple QuickTime before 7.6.6 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted color tables in a movie file, related to malformed MediaVideo data, a sample description atom (STSD), and a crafted length value. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. 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 MediaVideo data from a sample description atom (STSD). The application will read a length from the file, subtract 1 and then use it as a counter for a loop. Certain values may cause memory corruption and can result in code execution under the context of the current user. These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted H.264, MPEG-4, and FlashPix video files. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user; failed exploit attempts will cause denial-of-service conditions. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.6.6 are vulnerable on Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Mac OS X platforms. Apple QuickTime is a media player software from APPLE, a popular multimedia player that supports multiple media formats. -- Vendor Response: Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
