TITLE

Apple QuickTime Integer sign error vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Integer signedness error in Apple QuickTime before 7.6.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted panorama atom in a QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movie file. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that a user must be coerced into visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within Apple's support for Panoramic Images and occurs due to the application trusting a particular field for calculation of an offset. Due to the field being treated as a signed integer, the calculated offset can result in a pointer outside the bounds of the expected buffer. Upon usage of this out-of-bounds pointer, the application will write proceed to write image data to the invalid location. Successful exploitation can lead to code execution under the context of the application. Successful exploits 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 7.6.9 on both Mac OS X and Windows platforms are vulnerable. Apple QuickTime is a multimedia playback software developed by Apple (Apple). The software is capable of handling multiple sources such as digital video, media segments, and more. -- Vendor Response: Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
