CVE-2005-4092

TITLE

Apple QuickTime fails to properly handle corrupt media files

DESCRIPTION

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in QuickTime.qts in Apple QuickTime Player 7.0.3 and iTunes 6.0.1 (3) and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via a .mov file with (1) a Movie Resource atom with a large size value, or (2) an stsd atom with a modified Sample Description Table size value, and possibly other vectors involving media files. NOTE: item 1 was originally identified by CVE-2005-4127 for a pre-patch announcement, and item 2 was originally identified by CVE-2005-4128 for a pre-patch announcement. Apple's QuickTime is a player for files and streaming media in a variety of different formats. A flaw in QuickTime's handling of Targa (TGA) image format files could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple From QuickTime Version that fixes multiple vulnerabilities in 7.0.4 Has been released.Arbitrary code may be executed by a remote third party, DoS You can be attacked. For more information, see the information provided by the vendor. 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. This issue affects both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows releases of the software. This issue may be triggered when the application processes a malformed movie (.MOV) file. Successful exploitation will result in execution of arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged in user. This issue affects Apple QuickTime 7.0.3 and iTunes 6.0.1. Earlier versions may also be affected. Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in QuickTime.qts. This specific flaw exists within the QuickTime.qts file which many applications access QuickTime's functionality through. By specially crafting atoms within a movie file, a direct heap overwrite is triggered, and reliable code execution is then possible. Technical Details: Technical Description: The code in QuickTime.qts responsible for the size of the Sample Description Table entries from the 'stsd' atom in a QuickTime-format movie on the heap. According to developer.apple.com, the format of the Sample Description Atom is as follows: Field Description ---------------------------------------------------------------- Size 32-bit int Data Format 4 char code Reserved 6 bytes that must be 0 Data Reference Index 16-bit int Hint Track Version 16-bit unsigned int Last compatible hint track version 16-bit unsigned int Max Packet Size 32-bit int Additional Data Table Variable By setting the size of the Sample Description Table to a size of 00 15 - 00 D0 will cause a heap-based overflow. By supplying the "Last compatible hint track version" field with the value of 00 05 - 00 09, an insufficiently-sized heap block will be allocated, resulting in a classic complete heap memory overwrite during the RtlAllocateHeap() function and the attacker can control memory with data taken from the filename of the .MOV file. This vulnerability can be successfully exploited via an embedded media player in an HTML page, email, or HTML link.

Vendor Status: Apple has released a patch for this vulnerability. The patch is available via the Updates section of the affected applications.
