TITLE:
Apple QuickTime Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24359
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24359/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Apple QuickTime 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/5090/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple QuickTime, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.
1) An integer overflow error exists in the handling of 3GP video
files.
NOTE: This does not affect QuickTime on Mac OS X.
2) A boundary error in the handling of MIDI files can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
3) A boundary error in the handling of QuickTime movie files can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
4) An integer overflow exists in the handling of UDTA atoms in movie
files.
5) A boundary error in the handling of PICT files can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
6) A boundary error in the handling of QTIF files can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow.
7) An integer overflow exists in the handling of QTIF files.
8) An input validation error exists in the processing of QTIF files.
This can be exploited to cause a heap corruption via a specially
crafted QTIF file with the "Color Table ID" field set to "0".
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 7.1.5.
