TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of QuickDraw Manager and Apple QuickTime Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Integer underflow in QuickDraw Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7, and Apple QuickTime before 7.6.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PICT image with a crafted 0x77 Poly tag and a crafted length field, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. While processing data for opcode 0x71 QuickTime trusts a value contained in the file and makes an allocation accordingly. By providing a malicious value this buffer can be undersized and subsequently can be overflowed leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running QuickTime. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists when the application parses a malformed .PICT image. While decoding a tag 0x77 in the image, the application misuses a 16-bit length when allocating tag data. When copying tag data into this buffer, a heap overflow occurs. This can lead to code execution under the context of the current user. The QuickDraw component of Apple Mac OS X is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted PICT image file. A successful exploit will allow arbitrary attacker-supplied code to run in the context of the victim running the affected application. NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 34926 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it. The way PICT graphics are handled has an integer underflow that can lead to a heap overflow, and opening a malicious PICT graphic could lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.
