TITLE:
Apple QuickTime Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29650
VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/29650/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, DoS, System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Apple QuickTime 7.x
https://secunia.com/product/5090/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple QuickTime, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information or compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An implementation error in QuickTime for Java allows untrusted
Java applets to deserialize objects provided by QTJava. This can be
exploited to disclose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code
e.g. when a user visits a malicious web page.
2) An unspecified error in the handling of external URLs embedded in
movie files can lead to information disclosure.
3) An input validation error in the handling of data reference atoms
within movie files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a
specially crafted movie is viewed.
4) An unspecified error in the handling of movie media tracks can be
exploited to cause a memory corruption when a specially crafted movie
is viewed.
5) A boundary error in the parsing of "crgn" atoms can be exploited
to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted movie
file is viewed.
6) A boundary error in the parsing of "chan" atoms can be exploited
to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted movie
file is viewed.
7) A boundary error in the handling of PICT records can be exploited
to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted PICT
image is viewed.
8) A boundary error in the handling of error messages when processing
PICT images can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X systems.
9) A boundary error in the handling of Animation codec content can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially
crafted movie file is viewed.
NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X systems.
10) A boundary error in the parsing of "obji" atoms can be exploited
to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted
QuickTime VR movie file is viewed.
11) A boundary error in the parsing of the Clip opcode can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially
crafted PICT image file is viewed.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution
of arbitrary code.
