Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.4.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an MP4A movie with a malformed Channel Compositor (aka chan) atom.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo en Apple QuickTime antes de 7.4.5 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de una película MP4A con un átomo canal Compositor (aka chan) mal formado.

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.
The specific flaw exists in the parsing of the QuickTime Channel Compositor atom. When the movie file contains a malformed 'chan' atom, a heap corruption occurs resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
