TITLE

Windows Run on Apple QuickTime Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Apple QuickTime before 7.7.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted TKHD atoms in a QuickTime movie file. 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 within the way Quicktime processes the matrix structures in the 'tkhd' atom for mp4 files. When the matrix structure contains large values a movs instruction can turn the value negative. When Quicktime later uses the function to determine where it should write its data it does check the upper boundaries, but not the lower ones causing a heap buffer underwrite. This can result in remote code execution under the context of the current user. The problem occurs when handling a specially crafted movie file. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user; failed exploit attempts may cause denial-of-service conditions. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.7.1 are vulnerable on Windows 7, Vista, and XP. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 50388 (Apple QuickTime Prior To 7.7.1 Multiple Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. 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.
