CVE-2010-0531

TITLE

Apple iTunes Service disruption in (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Apple iTunes before 9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted MP4 podcast file. Apple iTunes is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to crash the application, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to iTunes 9.1 are vulnerable. Note: This issue was previously described in BID 39092 (Apple iTunes Privilege Escalation and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. Apple iTunes is a media player program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia CSI + Microsoft SCCM ----------------------- = Extensive Patch Management http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/wsus_sccm_3rd_third_party_patching/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Apple iTunes Multiple Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA39135 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/39135/ DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple iTunes, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or compromise a user's system. 1) Multiple errors in the ColorSync and ImageIO components when handling images can be exploited to disclose application memory or potentially execute arbitrary code. For more information see vulnerabilities #1 through #4 and #9 in: SA38932 2) An error when processing MP4 files can be exploited to trigger the execution of an infinite loop and render the application unusable after its restart via e.g. a specially crafted podcast. 3) During installation iTunes for Windows installs and executes certain files in a directory in the ""%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\" path. As standard permissions allows any user to write files to the path, this can be exploited to either create malicious files with specific names before installation or malicious libraries after installation, allowing execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. SOLUTION: Update to version 9.1.
