CVE-2005-3711

TITLE

Apple QuickTime fails to properly handle corrupt media files

DESCRIPTION

Integer overflow in Apple Quicktime before 7.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TIFF image file with modified (1) "strips" (StripByteCounts) or (2) "bands" (StripOffsets) values. Apple's QuickTime is a player for files and streaming media in a variety of different formats. A successful attack can result in a remote compromise. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 16202 (Apple QuickTime Multiple Code Execution Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document the vulnerability. Apple QuickTime is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities. These issues arise when the application handles specially crafted QTIF, TGA, TIFF, and GIF image formats. Successful exploits of these issues may allow remote attackers to trigger a denial-of-service condition or to gain unauthorized access. Versions prior to QuickTime 7.0.4 are vulnerable. TITLE: QuickTime Multiple Image/Media File Handling Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA18370 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/18370/ CRITICAL: Highly critical IMPACT: 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 cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially to compromise a user's system. 1) A boundary error in the handling of QTIF images can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This may allow arbitrary code execution when a malicious QTIF image is viewed. 2) Some boundary and integer overflow/underflow errors in the handling of TGA images can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. 3) An integer overflow error exists in the handling of TIFF images. This can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a malicious TIFF image is viewed. 4) A boundary error in the handling of GIF images can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This may allow arbitrary code execution when a malicious media file is viewed. The vulnerabilities affect both the Mac OS X and the Windows platforms. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.0.4. Mac OS X (version 10.3.9 or later): http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime704.html Windows 2000/XP: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Varun Uppal, Kanbay. 2-3) Dejun Meng, Fortinet. 4-5) Karl Lynn, eEye Digital Security.

This is due to application failure to sanitize the parameter StripByteCounts while parsing TIFF image files. A remote attacker could construct a web page with specially crafted tiff file and entice a victim to view it, when the user opens the TIFF image with Internet Explorer or Apple QuickTime Player, it'll cause memory access violation, and leading to potential Arbitrary Command Execution. Impact : Execute arbitrary code Solution : Apple Computers has released a security update for this vulnerability, which is available for downloading from Apples's web site under security update. Fortinet Protection: Fortinet is protecting network from this vulnerability with latest IPS update. Acknowledgment : Dejun Meng of Fortinet Security Research team found this vulnerability
