Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an invalid color table size when parsing the color table atom (CTAB) in a movie file, related to the CTAB RGB values.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo en Apple QuickTime anterior a 7.3 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante un tamaño inválido de tabla de color cuando se analiza el átomo de tabla de color (color table atom o CTAB) en un archivo de película, relacionado con los valores CTAB RGB.

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 open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the parsing of the CTAB atom. While reading the CTAB RGB values, an invalid color table size can cause QuickTime to write past the end of the heap chunk. This memory corruption can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
