TITLE

Apple QuickTime fails to properly handle FLC movies

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.1.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the COLOR_64 chunk in a FLIC (FLC) movie. Apple QuickTime fails to properly handle SGI images. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. Successful exploits may facilitate a remote compromise of affected computers. Apple QuickTime FLIC File Heap Overflow Vulnerability iDefense Security Advisory 09.12.06 http://www.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Sep 12, 2006 I. BACKGROUND Quicktime is Apple's media player product used to render video and other media. For more information visit http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ II. A FLIC file is an animation file consisting of a number of frames, each of which is made up of an image and may contain other information such as a palette or a label. The vulnerability specifically exists in the handling of the COLOR_64 chunk in FLIC format files. QuickTime does not validate that the data size allocated to store the palette is large enough, allowing a malformed file to cause controllable heap corruption. III. In order to exploit this vulnerability, attackers must social engineer victims into visiting a website under their control. The QuickTime plugin can be forced to load in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Furthermore, testing shows that either browser can be used as an attack vector. It is also possible to open this type of file directly from within QuickTime or from a playlist that QuickTime has opened. The data being used to overwrite the heap is in the form 0x00XXYYZZ, where XX, YY and ZZ are controllable. This limits the range of values that can be overwritten, but does not prevent it. IV. DETECTION iDefense Labs confirmed that version 7.1 of the QuickTime player is vulnerable. It is suspected that all previous versions are also affected. V. WORKAROUND iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workarounds for this vulnerability. VI.
