TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of QuickTime Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Use-after-free vulnerability in QuickTime in Apple Mac OS X 10.7.x before 10.7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted movie file with JPEG2000 encoding. 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 Apple QuickTime handles movies with the jpeg2k codec. When the size for a sample defined in the stsz atom is too big the QuickTime player fails to allocate the required memory for that sample. A pointer to the previous sample data still exists after the previous sample got freed. This pointer normally gets updated to point to the current sample data, but this does not happen when the allocation fails. The QuickTime player then re-uses the stale pointer and a use-after-free situation occurs. This can lead to remote code execution under that context of the current process. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, cause denial-of-service conditions, gain unauthorized access, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, and perform other attacks. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successful exploits will compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions. The following versions are affected: Apple OS X Lion 10.7 through 10.7.3 Apple OS X Lion Server 10.7 through 10.7.3 Note: This issue was previously discussed in BID 53445 (Apple Mac OS X Security Update 2012-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. - -- Vendor Response: Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
