TITLE:
Apple QuickTime Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29650
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29650/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, DoS, 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 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.
